Developer-Koushik Dutta first released his app AllCast shortly after the launch of Google's Chromecast. Back then, it allowed Android users to display content from their phone's gallery, Dropbox account, and Google Drive on a TV screen with the help of Google's HDMI dongle. The company voiced support for local playback apps, but said that the Chromecast SDK is currently limited to select partners — at least during the developer preview stage — "to provide a great experience for users." Undeterred, Dutta kept working on AllCast, and today it has launched in the Google Play Store. Just don't expect Chromecast support, as it's still not there.
