Pretty cool. I might buy one, depending on the price.

I found this on the Play store yesterday. Looks interesting but I have no practical use for it.

It probably should be noted that it can only do 720p right now. At least that's what I've read.

They were offering 3 free months of streaming Netflix with this but pulled the offer due to overwhelming demand.

I'll get one, so that I can stream HBO GO on to my television. Comcast restricts the use of the ROKU box for streaming HBO GO, but allows the XBOX (don't own) to stream HBO GO. I never understood that move, but ChromeCast may be my savior.

$35 in NZ compared to $100 for Apple TV.
Not bad.

If you have an internet connected TV (Samsung, LG, Sony, etc) you can download an app for free that does that with your android device.

Eh no USB battery, gotta plug power cord into wall instead. That sucks.
