Nokia Beamer – Really cool feature for you Windows Phone
A few days ago I installed the Lumia Black update for my Nokia 1020 Windows Phone.
The Glance feature updates are great and I am sure that everyone that doesn’t have the 1020 will appreciate the Pro camera app. The feature I liked the most was the new Nokia Beamer feature. Beamer lets you share your phone screen across the internet or with any connected TV/PC.
Let’s say you want to present or show something from your phone to someone, it could be an office document, slide show or an app, just start the Nokia Beamer app and choose to share remotely through email, SMS or social media (let your Facebook wall see your phone screen?? :) ) or choose to share nearby.
If you choose share nearby direct a browser on the screen you want to present on to http://beamer.nokia.com and scan the QR code with your phone. Your screen and all you do on it is now displayed inside the web browser :)
Not very much new in this release but it is nice to see that new features are released. Next update for Windows Phone will probably be after the //BUILD// conference in the beginning of April 2014 where Windows Phone 8.1 is rumored to be announced.
Watch the walk-through of the Black features in this YouTube video from Nokia. The demo of Beamer starts two minutes out in the video.
