Google Chromecast

The Google Chromecast is for the people who want to turn their ordinary flat screen tv into a smart tv, so sorry for everyone still using those big ol' crt tvs (thats me). The dongle is $35 and is very small, including the hdmi extender and charging cable. This little device will be able so stream content from your mobile devices or directly from your chrome browser on a pc/mac.

Opinions: I personally don't think most should get this unless they are a die hard fan of chrome and google for the fact that you can get android computers with a very similar form factor, expandable memory, extra ports, and most likely a faster processor for only about double the price. Android hdmi dongles have been around for awhile now and are pretty popular and effective so I don't really see to much of a point to the chromecast but its still young and could have some tricks up its sleeves.
