Also along with the expected arrivals of Android 4.3 & the new Nexus 7 tablet, they snuck in a new product in the mix of things. Introducing the Chromecast: Google’s new way to stream content from your Android, iOS, or Windows Phone device – straight to your TV. Its a $35 HDMI dongle that mirrors content from your smartphone, tablet or computer.
Chromecast allows you to use your smartphone, tablet, or computer as a remote.
The Chromecast runs a simplified version of Chrome as it is powered via USB power cable and it support Wi-Fi b/g/n. At launch, the new dongle will support Netflix, YouTube, Pandora, & Google Play Movies streaming as more app support is expected to come later. I already ordered mines as they scheduled to begin shipping out next week. As an added bonus those who buy one get three months of Netflix for free. Nice touch, Google.
See it in action on their demo video below.
