Free Video Streaming App – Air Playit, Watching Videos Anywhere

[Halla]

As ZumoCast has vanished from App Store for some reason, it seems that we have to turn to the paid app Air Video for streaming videos. Luckily, today a found an excellent replacement of ZumoCast which has been put on App Store just couple of days, it’s called Air Playit. This app is free, worth keeping.





App features:
It contains two parts: a server on PC/Mac and the client on iDevices. Users can stream videos to iPhone iPad iPod touch from PC/Mac hard drive via Wi-Fi, 3G even 4G. (The quality is as good as with ZumoCast, if not better.)

Download the server and client from:
http://www.airplayit.com/

Then run Air Playit on iPhone iPad or iPod touch, it will automatically search the server via Wi-Fi or 3G. Then add the server to your server list on iDevices. Click it and you’ll see all your shared files. Now you can play any video/audio as you like. Easy!

Personal experience: watch Avatar on iPhone 4

Avatar.2010. 1080p.MKV
video: 1280 Kbit/s
audio: 256 Kbit/s

It’s very smooth and clear.

So, how was your experience about watching Avatar?
Isn't the screen too small to you?
