Chromecast news and a release date would be most welcome

isn't chromecast basically limited smart tv which uses your phone/tablet.

I mean aren't the only compatible apps like youtube and 2 others which are already available on smart tvs?

I personally do not see the big hype behind it.

Now if it could 1:1 mirror anything displayed on an android devices screen with perfect quality, then I would be interested.

Its ok for you, you have every phone released in the last 3 months, try having a S3 for the next few weeks

The S3 LTE? It's still a good quick phone, I'm still using it as my main work phone.

Note 3 is my personal - not sure I'll keep it yet.

This!

But it's a good thing so I can actually buy one.

I grabbed a chromecast from Amazon us during a blip in their site. Nice bit of kit for the cash.

Come on Google get the N5 out!

Dead Dog · 23 Oct 2013 at 18:40

This is starting to get a bit carp, just release the thing or give a defo date it will be released.
Better be good and cheap after all this poop :rolleyes:

Google Play Store event tomorrow night (midnight UK time) should be interesting, but rumour has it....no hardware announcement. Sigh.

The thing is, ever since they announced there was a Google Play event, all of the major tech sites have been eerily quiet. Only that one rumour going around about no hardware being present. Personally I believe they are under some kind of NDA not to say anything about it until the 25th.

It works with Netflix, Google Play Music, YouTube and Chrome (streams tabs) in the UK. For £35, it's by far the cheapest and easiest way to get any of these apps on to my lounge TV and the fact that I can control it via my phone removes any need for messy mouse and keyboard or extra remotes. It doesn't do a huge amount, sure, but for the price it's great.

With more apps to come as time goes by too.

Does it do Netflix SuperHD?
