The first generation of "Intel Inside" Android phones has arrived - the XOLO X900 was launched on 22 April 2012 in India and in the United Kingdom, it was launched on June 6 2012 as Orange San Diego. In France, it is known as Orange avec Intel Inside.
In this post I want to show the hardware capabilities of the Intel-powered phone, when it comes to Intel® Wireless Display. To show this I am using my retailSan Diego Orange.

How to enable Intel® Wireless Display
- Begin at the Android startscreen
- click on the menu button
- go to setting
- go to Wireless Display
- turn the Wireless Display on (you have to disconnect from WiFi for this as a single antenna is used that allows only a single stream)
- select the Wireless Display Adapter you want to connect to
- enter the 8-digit PIN code you see on the Display to create the PAN
- Made it! Connected!

It seem impractical to only have a single antenna. When I buy this in the US, will I get an Intel Inside phone with the wireless networking and wireless display? Seems like a deal breaker to me.
Did I ever think to live to see this happy day!? :))))
On a serious note, Björn, is it possible to capture an entire video stream somehow? It'd be a killer feature! Tried to explore it using usual laptop, but without any success. Any thoughts?
And.... it seems to me that your gallery is broken.
@ Andrew - Yes we are aware of it and work on future iteration with multiple antennas. But for now Wireless Display is a nice feature to connect to the TV set and show captured pictures and movie clips in a fast and convenient way without searching for a cable and being limited to sit 2-3m next to the TV set.
@Dmitry - what do you mean by capture a video stream? regarding the gallery, yes its a template issue and I will manual html format the article today!
What I mean... Well, a phone translating some H.264 stream encoded with a special profile. A receiver gets this stream over dedicated WiFi channel, decodes it and displays the video on a TV. My question: is it possible to get the stream using "usual" WiFi adapter and record it right into a video file, without displaying? It'd be great feature to capture video sequence, example: you play a game and then upload a level's solution on YouTube.
@Dmitry - not that I am aware of atm but that doesn't mean, that this isn't existing :) I keep an eye on it and will let you know if I stumble upon something.
