Microsoft is working on a competitor Chromecast

It seems to make an economic key to watch videos on the Internet through the TV have gone quite well to Google. The $ 35 (to change about 27 euros) worth the Chromecast continues to top the list of Amazon best sellers. Now, it seems that Microsoft might be making a similar device adapted for users of Windows, the operating system the company of Redmond, according to some documents FCC. Device will be named Microsoft HD -10, or at least that’s how it happened the database of the American regulator.

 An American website, Windows Phone Daily, recently leaked some information that pointed to this device would have WiFi, it is compatible with HDMI and come with a USB port. The hardware does not seem very different from other peripherals already on the market, so we’ll see how the company surprised us.

 Obviously, Microsoft will not use the same technology as Google to play online videos on TV. Thus, other documents reveal that the WiFi Alliance Miracast device used to transmit content from any terminal with Windows Phone to TV.

 The latest version of Windows and supports Miracast. The development of this competitor would be aimed at introducing Miracast compatibility on TVs that do not have the necessary technology. Thus, Microsoft could take a very compelling product.

 Meanwhile, Chromecast has achieved what many other handsets have done before: get the Mountain View Company to succeed in the field of online TV. The ability to share content from your computer or phone via «streaming” has helped the device becomes a gap in the market.

 Also, besides competing against Chromecast also would be a rival to Apple TV. It is said that the price of this small peripheral would be $ 50, about 38 euros, although it is yet to be confirmed.

 It is likely that this device will present the 4 September at IFA, which is when you have scheduled the presentation of two other terminals of the company, the Nokia Lumia 730 and Nokia Lumia 830. Features of these smartphones are being filtered for weeks, so it is not surprising that we find a third team in the event.

 Another possible date for submissions is September 30th, which is when Microsoft will release the test version of Windows 9, the new operating system for computers of the company. This software is one of the most anticipated of the year, because it will unify multiple platforms, which would make it common for all types of devices.

 Anyway, still have to wait a few days to see how the company will surprise us.
