The information supplied in the post in regards to Miracast not working in concert with Wi-Fi whilst in use was given by LG to me during my meeting and to Jason during this meeting.

I am more than willing to update the post if you can supply a specific example of this working but at the time we were shown this was not the case.

Please correct your article. Miracast CAN be used in concert with a Wi-Fi connection. In order to become Miracast certified a device must have a dual band Wi-Fi antenna. It uses the 5GHz band for Miracast. All this means is that your Wi-Fi connection will be kicked down to the 2.4 GHz band if your network even had 5GHz to begin with.

LG are pretty cagey about any of the updates for their phones

No information as yet, that’ll come out as LG gets closer to launch as per usual.

Has there been any confirmation of which carriers will sell the Optimus G on contract?

How about an update for the Optimus Black

Agreed, I think it’s a fairly big shortfall in the current implementation.

The Optimus G does have a Micro SD slot. I think it might vary by territory.

I know it adds complexity but I wish that Miracast would work over WifiDirect OR Wifi. I did read somewhere that the next version of AirPlay would possibly support WifiDirect.

We did a similar post already. When LG’s ready to make a proper announcement, we’ll definitely cover it.

I am happy to read this. As one of the many who missed out, I was waiting for the next batch. It’s nice to have another option should I miss out on that too…
