Google Chromecast follows Apple TV in doing the living room right

589 views

Amazon has the Google Chromecast listed as a 'HDMI streaming media player', but it's way more than that.

It's a very clever little device that shows how to do the living room right.

Last month I wrote a piece called 'How Apple does not care about your living room'. The idea behind this piece is that all those companies that are desperately trying to push complex technology to modify the main television in the living room are rather missing the point.
1960s
The living room isn't as important as it once was. This isn't the 1960s where we all cluster round and spend all our time as a happy little nuclear family in one place.

The home is now a place where we consume content through mobile devices wherever we happen to be inside it. Increasingly, we're spending more time away from broadcast television, plus more time relating to others through social networking services. Sitting down and actually watching TV together is happening less.

In that context it makes far more sense to invent a little device that can somehow improve every television in the house in some way. Which is exactly what Chromecast is. Spend $35, somehow work out how to get power to it, somehow set it up, and your existing TV is a little bit improved.

I'm a big fan of Apple TV, not necessarily because it's any good (it's 'just OK' implementation-wise), but .

    Google Chromecast Lets You Stream Internet Video to Your TV for Just $35

    Google's new Nexus 7 has the specifications to impress, but a new little and cheaper device called the Chromecast is impressing a bit more today.

    The small dongle costs approximately $35 and promises to let you easily stream Internet video on a television. Plug the device into the back of a TV's HDMI port, connect it to your home WiFi network and you can then fire up videos or music on your phone, tablet and computer and watch it on the bigger screen.

    'The Chromecast is easiest way to bring your favorite online entertainment to your TV,' Google Head of TV Technology Mario Queiroz said at the launch event this morning.

    Google will build in the Chromecast support to the phone and tablet apps, themselves. For instance, the Android or iPhone YouTube and Google Video apps will have a Chromecast button that lets you play that video or song on the TV screen. In Chrome browsers on Mac, Windows and Chrome OS computers, the button will allow you to mirror what is on your computer's Chrome browser on the bigger screen.
    It's intended to be a really simple way to watch the content you are watching on your mobile devices on a bigger TV screen. The technology allows you to do other things on your phone or tablet, for instance reading an email, while still streaming the video on the TV.

    But it is simplicity and price together that are getting people excited about the Chromecast. The little device
