Nothing is faster than scrolling on through videos on your phone and casting it to the chromcast. Mirroring a chrome tab is awesome feature no need for a remote, love how small and portable this is for my travels. I use my WiFi hotspot on my phones 4g connection and its great.
I take this to every hotel and plug it into the TV, I cast everything, YouTube, Slingplayer, hbogo, Netflix. This beats the hell out of bringing an apple TV or roku when I travel every week.
The chrome cast is simple in its functionality... Just plug it into an open HDMI port, plug in the included adapter to a power outlet, and you now have the capability to use your smart phone as a remote control to play Netflix and YouTube content on your TV. Simple and straightforward.
To be honest, there is actually a small, one time setup routine you do have to go thru to register the device on your network, but after that, it's smooth sailing. If you want to play a video off YouTube, just press the cast button, and if the tv is off, it will turn on and switch to the correct Tv input and you're off to the races.
Sure its only a few hours old. Nobody has this in possession yet. But
the idea of this is amazing. Being an Apple Tech, I applaud Google and
the products announced today. Its nice to see that some company is being
innovative and cheap. Bravo. I'm sure when I have this I'll be a happy
nerd.
