(in the sense that it's the target of what someone is saying). Looks to me like it kinda falls into rule 9 and partially rule 7. Speaking of Continuum, Playcast supports that feature as well. Your device becomes merely a means of transport for media, but like in Continuum, continues to operate as a phone. In this sense, Playcast feels more like a native app than some third party workaround. Of course, you can also do just the photos, music, or videos you recorded on your phone too. Additionally, you can hit the volume key on your phone and play, pause or skip - just like a traditional remote.

Even better, you can turn your phone's display off and just watch the movie streaming from OneDrive to your phone to your TV. It didn't even hit battery life too hard.

Not only can it do the above streaming task, but you can minimize the app on your phone and continue to use the phone as you normally would without any drawbacks. Let me give you a real-world example that we tried and that works remarkably well: Streaming an HD movie stored on OneDrive through our phone to the TV via a connected Xbox One. The real big deal here, however, is the background task feature.
