First Impression: Google's Chrome Cast

Incredible, I have waiting for Google class product(s) that will make a regular HDMI capable TV into something more than just a "dumb" TV, and here we are. As I have predicted in January, an Android thumb size internet TV enabler will be the game changer, it has. Although the China's Android mini PC didn't hit the mark due to over heating and easily bricked component, like the picture below, their development continues to quad-core class processor.



Now, mid 2013, Google finally release the new Chrome Cast. Of course, Google starts the basic with WiFi based connection and streaming from your devices: smartphones, tablets, or PCs, as long as you have Google Chrome, that means iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Linux, Ms Windows, but no BlackBerry). The connector is HDMI so it is universal, giving the stream a HD capable presentation, limited only by your WiFi bandwidth.



Is Google too late? Yes and no. Yes because Apple has thrown out their Apple TV, Samsung has perfected their AllShare Dlna connectivity, Sony has improved their cross smartphones/tablets to TV sharing using WiFi in combination with NFC, and China's produces Android microPC like chocolate bars to push regular HDMI capable TV into Internet Smart TV. No because Google needed the time to perfected the micro system of connectivity and usability. With the new improvement that Sony has released few months ago, Google finally has the methodology of easy connection and streaming quality multimedia from Chrome enabled devices to TV.

Is it great? Not yet. It still needs time to develop further with services and stability. Google didn't joke around and dump power supporters into Chrome Cast.



These included features (Netflix and all Google products/services like YouTube, Music, etc) are the one that will drive new generations to buy this product. Of course $35 a pop is certainly an Apple TV killer on the loose.

Here are the nagging question: why don't Chrome Cast has a mini/micro SIM card slot to enable independent connectivity? The answer lies on whether or not you want to carry around your HDMI capable TV? Obvious, isn't it?

My nagging question is, why not propose Chrome Cast to HBO Networks, Fox, Warners, and others alike as the subscription tool? Here goes the death of TV Cable and the rise of Broadband and WiMax providers.

Of course, these all are predictions and still to be seen in the future. Why not share your comment and we'll discuss this further.
