PlayTo brings Airplay like functionality to Android
Many home theater devices now come with the ability to use Apple’s “AirPlay” service, which is great if you are an adopter of the iToys, but usually leaves Android adopters feeling left out. But no more! An app in the Play store called PlayTo brings the ability to stream to AirPlay enabled devices to your Android!
We have been playing around with it, and it is pretty cool. The interface isn’t as polished as it’s Apple counterparts, but unlike standard Airplay, when playing from the network, the app actually passes control to the player, so that if the phone or tablet gets switched off or leaves, playback continues! Take that, AirPlay!
The free version only plays 5 items, but at under $7, it’s well worth the investment.
