Google Chromecast 4.4.1 Mirroring function Dongle Coming Soon

Google HDMI Chromecast dongle is great for streaming content from an Android device direct to a TV
set, but falls short of the Apple TV platform when it comes to full on display mirroring.

However, that could soon be about to change, judging by code spotted within the android 4.4.1 update which is in out of Nexus smartphone and tablets.

A recent invite to developers inviting them to hackathon being run by Google this weekend which will allow them to get a chance to test drive the upcoming Google cast SDK, points to a very imminent release of the long awaited SDK and a possible flood of new Apps, bt they don't address issue of streaming local content from your device to the US $34 dongle but new code in the Andriod 4.4.1 update which rolled out this week points to the ability to cast your Android screen to Chromecast.

First we we update to Android 4.4.1 minor change form  the display settings. previsoly you could simply turn wireless display on but after the update to 4.4.1 the wireless display option has now become cast screen.

On his Google+page Dutta wrote from the patches i see in 4.4.1 they will be adding Android Mirroring to chromecast very soon.

Google has been bigging up its Chromecast compitible apps by giving them a section of their own Google Play Store but could things able to get lot more interesting for the little dongle?
