Think of the Chromecast as having a Youtube player for your TV. It pulls content from the cloud, as instructed by your smartphone/tablet. Nothing is loaded from your device. In short, no display mirroring, for now.

But since the device is open to development, and actually has it's own hotspot (as shown in initial setup), I'm not surprised if display mirroring becomes a feature in the future.

never buy a product base on the 'potential' it has, or a promise for bug fix and update.

invest in something that already proven to work. laugh.gif

i am wondering if it can stream google+,
i have tons of photos that i wish to share on the big screen with my family.

Overall a nice device, worth supporting since its relatively cheap
35usd approximately rm 110

But it's not for sale here. If go through garage sales seller,
Price become rm 200 then really not worth it consider its limited function.

Too bad, have to pass on this one.

OMG RM 200

anybody can bulk ?

eBay even worst, look at the delivery fee,
Almost double up the already doubled price to 300+

I might as well walk in to any apple store and buy the Apple TV instantly for rm349 doh.gif

Things from eBay need to wait one month to arrive...

Been searching for reviews.
This is the best I've seen.
Awesome video, very detail explanation and even got Q&A session at the back which answer most FAQ

At the end of video got a trick to make it stream local content from your laptop also.
I feel like getting one.

Add yourself to this list if interested to get one

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2903393

Item is 35usd about rm 110

But delivery from US and profit for the seller for rm 60

170 suddenly feels like an ok price.

I made my placement from another seller.
But still have to wait long long.

Cyanogenmod developer koush dutta, not sure the spelling of his name,
Anyway, that guy manage to make every app that produce video or audio castable using chrome cast.
Awesome job.

I tested before playing a video from Newstand. The video is ok, but audio stutters. Guess for showing pics its ok but not for videos.

Anyone of you put a chromecast in a Sound Amp or Sound Bar?

Thanks for the info.
