First Impression: Google's Chrome Cast

Posted by Unknown Kamis, 25 Juli 2013 0 komentar

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.

NOTE: This is my opinion as I witnessed the IT Gadgets development in 2013.

2013 is another year of IT and Gadgets explosion of game changing innovations. The followings are the list of the items that broke the rules and successfully change the market:

1. Windows 8 and Windows Tablet aka Surface

A tablet that also function as a laptop PC, who would have thought that Microsoft can still be creative in developing new approach on the market. The answer is Microsoft has years experience in meeting the market demands. Now, with Windows 8, they will start to change the landscape of portable PC and make things more exiting for consumers. A laptop that does more touch and better at typing, looks like the-will-be preferable machine for those working with a lot of typing and traveling.

2. Samsung Galaxy Note 2

The biggest smartphone on the market successfully put Android in the Functional Premium Smartphone Class and responsible for creating a new wave of 5"+ Android phones. The key success of SGNote2 is only the SPen and unbelievable user freedom in creativity. Funny thing is for a phone that big (5.5"), it has so many people buying, using, and select few has become fanatics of it. The giant that beats the smaller and more sophisticatedly designed smartphones. Did Dell miss something? The answer is ... sorry, I'm not gonna tell you here. Check this article instead.

3. Android Micro PC

This is in early initial development, originally used as Google TV Dongle, and has started to storm the market in China. A small PC to be connected via HDMI to monitor/TV and it has USB for keyboard/mouse. MicroSD as additional storage. It runs Android OS. If PC will be developed to this size, who needs laptops? Anyone interested in opening new business of Monitor terminals to let this tiny PC connected to it quarter hourly by coin?

Also, for those who doesn't want to buy a new TV that does Internet, buy this and turn your TV into Internet TV, requirement: HDMI capable.

By the way, major brands has started developing similar products.

4. Self Generating WiFi Portable Storage System

Now, imagine you are doing a group meeting somewhere and needs to share your documents with your team. Don't tell me about Cloud Storage, since in third world countries there are still locations without the benefit of 3G Internet connectivity. All you have to do turn on your portable harddisk/storage WiFi and everyone (up to 5 people) can get connected to the files they need.

5. Google Glass

You glasses is your screen. Imagine that. Well, this is a game changer and the will be new development of portable computing. Who needs monitor when you can a screen on your glasses. Certainly, the person next to you will not be able to peek at your data.

There, the 5 new important development in 2013 that I truly feels as the best innovations that will change the whole market. What do you think? Did I miss something?
