AirPlay may be Apple's solution to wireless streaming, but other heavyweights of the tech industry are getting behind the WiFi Alliance's Miracast, which today announced the first compatible products. Unlike AirPlay video streaming, which is limited to Apple hardware, Miracast relies on WiFi Direct to squirt content between smartphones, tablets, laptops, PCs, TVs, and set-top boxes.
