BlackBerry 10.2 USB Host Mode and Miracast demo - YouTube
thats awsooome so u can uso with on TV with HDMI and with mouse and Keyboard right ?
I'm getting one just cos his demo used Mad Men!!!
Posted using my sexy white Z10 on Z10STL100-2/10.2.0.1761
That was fantastic! Is this something unique to BlackBerry 10 smartphones?

Really? What other devices run BBM?
He was talking about usb host and miracast...

Well, obviously USB Host and Miracast work on some other devices too.
BlackBerry didn't invent those protocols, the Miracast adapter is from a 3rd party manufacturer.
What the most exciting on that demo is that you could use your big keyboard to do BBM chats.
My belief is that what's shown above can be done with BB10 devices only.
Neither iPhone nor Android have BBM and you need some wooodo to make USB host working on selected Android devices.
I was going to post this. Showed it to a few of my Co workers they were speech less. Lol

nice, we need more videos like this. I remember when the crackberry team would have loads of this type of video up...
I guess this is mobile computing. It is finally coming together
Sweet cant wait to pick up my Z30 when they go for cheap on kijiji ;)
So, if I bought the Miracast dongle**, that could connect to my TV?

I think a cleaner way to do this is to use a Bluetooth mouse/keyboard and Miracast. I do love the USB host function though. I tested Bluetooth mouse and keyboard connectivity to my Z10 on day one. Works wonderfully.
I'm curious to see if USB host will work with printing.

So this would only be available to the z30?
First PlayBook and now Z10 gets no love, wwwwwwwhy!

Now if they could make Miracast work with a "dumb" tablet touchscreen. Then we could forgo needing a tablet or recycle our Playbooks and have a tablet sized screen that could also be an input device for our phone. I am thinking of portability.
That would only work if someone wrote printer drivers for BB10.
Yes he is using at netgear ptv 3000

And Q10

I believe it's possible in some Android devices, maybe I'm wrong but not possible in Apple devices (not the whole thing at least), Windows Phone I don't know.
I've done something like this with my Z10, HDMI to my TV and bluetooth keyboard and mouse, is great.
You can do it with Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and HDMI to monitor or TV, but I read somewhere in another thread that the Q10 will be Miracast capable with 10.2, even the Q5 will have it and the only one left out will be the Z10, maybe someone has more accurate info than me and may add to this.
Apparently the cpu / gpu combination of the stl2/3 and 4 do not support miracast. Ironically the stl100-1 does support it but the feature would never make its way through.
Once again shafted as an stl100-1 owner lol

Does this mean that I can connect to my PC monitor via the HDMI connection on the z30 and this will enable the monitor or will I need the miracast dongle
