Skifta
Skifta is billed as a different way of controlling your
collection of music, videos, and photos and taking it with
you. There is no uploading to the web or syncing to
your phone. Skifta allows media to be shifted from one place or device
to another via streaming, not downloading.
With your smartphone or tablet you can also stream it to
DLNA-Certified and UPnP-compatible TVs, IP-connected stereos,
PlayStation 3 game consoles, Windows 7 PCs, NAS drives,
and thousands of other connected consumer electronics devices
anywhere.
Skifta requires Android 2.2 or higher to work.
Features:
- Wi-Fi support for home access and 3G support for on-the-go
access
- DLNA Certified
application capable of streaming personal media to any DLNA-certified
gadget
- Access media stored on a PC or NAS drive
- Media shifting
- Cloud media services in the form of channels. A channel is
an internet or cloud service that has been integrated into the
application
- Mobile network support
Verdict:
Skifta has a number of admirable features
but its use as a media
streamer over a NAS drive is limited somewhat by the omission of
some central features such as being unable to create playlists, or
different playback options such
as shuffle playback.
