Google has just announced a new YouTube feature for Android and Google TV. It simply pushes YouTube content from an Android phone to a Google TV. Initially, the feature works only with Android (2.2 and later) and Google TV (2.1.2) only, but Google promises that other platforms will get the update in the future.
You are right to say that Google's update seems similar to Apple’s AirPlay, which allows video and audio to be pushed to an Apple TV from an iOS device. Unlike Apple’s idea though, the feature doesn’t push video. Instead, it acts as a remote for the Google TV telling where to find and how to play your favorite videos. If you miss your friends, they can even create a playlist on your gadget.
