Looks like a great update — so much awesome competition to control the TV as the biggest/most central/non-personal screen in the house. Epic.
Doesn't seem like 2 is available in the Chrome store yet, but I agree. I was just looking around a couple days ago to see if there had been any upgrades to Chromecast. Excited to get my hands on this!
But still no SDK right? Makes me think Apple TV is a solid step ahead on this one... does anyone disagree? Although Apple TV doesn't support web browsers/HTML anymore, so perhaps it's a closer call than I think.
um, this has been out for a while now - - well before the new apple tv.
Trying to get confirmation that new features won't be rolled out to v1? $35 is worthwhile upgrade price, but wanted to check.
I'm curious about this too
Got the updated app today and now have the new UX (with your apps, youtube, netflix, etc). Not sure what else is added in the new hardware other than upgraded wifi specs.
5GHz WiFi support alone is worth the upgrade.
Chromecast > Apple TV in my opinion.
Perfect timing since I can't find my original Chromecast.
So now instead of being able to plug the other end into a USB port on the TV, you're forced to use a wall power outlet?
Anyone have any idea if you can use this in your car? Seems to require communication between both devices to go through a wifi router.
This is great. I agree it's annoying that you have to use wall power. Although this will enable me to listen to Spotify on the speaker in my office that never wants to pair with my computer.
just bought
