On Tuesday, Google unveiled the new Nexus phones at a press event. It also revealed a new, updated and redesigned Chromecast for video, as well as a new stand-alone Chromecast Audio for streaming music to your sound system. Here are the details.
Chromecast, Google's cheap HDMI streaming dongle, has been gaining support for more apps over the past few months than ever before. This week, the TV streaming device added support for WatchESPN - and the timing for World Cup fans couldn't be better.
Earlier this year, Google officially released Chromecast's software developer's kit (SDK), which we previously predicted would lead to a flood of apps supporting Google's $35 HDTV streaming dongle. Since then, Chromecast enthusiasts have searched through the deluge for the best Chromecast apps.
Google's HDTV dongle, called Chromecast, launched in the U.S. in early Fall, 2013, and has been gaining popularity, and apps, ever since. Now that Chromecast is launching in the U.K., Canada, and several European nations, for a similarly low cost, it's time for a roundup of the best Chromecast video apps... so far.
