Use this small HDMI dongle to get YouTube and other Google content onto the big screen
The long-awaited Google Chromecast is now available to purchase in select Australian retail stores for the modest sum of $49. It's a device that can make it very easy for you to enjoy YouTube and other Google content on your big screen TV.- Small and easy to install
- Best suited for streaming YouTube content to a TV
- Not a good solution for streaming locally stored video files

When Google first announced the Chromecast -- its answer to Apple TV -- last July, the internet went wild for it. It was cheap, compatible with iOS and Android, and offered really cool mirroring capabilities.- Ease of setup
- discreet design
- no need for an extra remote
- price
- Poor selection of compatible apps
Review: Google Chromecast
There's this thing Netflix does after you've watched three episodes of something in a row. You might have seen it before. You're just finally settled in, a you-shaped dent is forming in the couch, and a little message pops up: "Are you still watching? Press play if so.- Chromecast is just absurdly easy to set up
- There's a lot of stuff to watch here
- The new app makes finding all that stuff much, much easier
- Your phone isn't always a very good remote
- No 4K, no Amazon
Google Chromecast 2
At Rs. 3,399, the Chromecast 2 is a good buy, as long as you're streaming a lot of content from your smartphone. The performance is better than its predecessor, and it can turn your dumb old TV into a smarter one. You may not want to go back to watching traditional TV once you've used this.- Good design
- Smooth streaming experience
- Easy to set up and use
- Well designed app and UI
- Mirroring smartphone display can get buggy for games and some apps

Google Chromecast Review
Our experience with the Chromecast was a bit marred due to the lack of iOS support at the time of our testing. We sent the device back before the app was released. Maybe in the future, we could get our hands on another Chromecast and make some appends to this review.- Function
- Ease of Use
- Resolution Quality
- Setup
- No Ethernet LAN Support
Google Chromecast review
A brilliant, low-cost add-on for Android device users in particular, providing a blissfully simple way to beam video from your device to the big screen. People who want to stream their own media collection should look elsewhere. The Chromecast is cheap and easy to use, but there aren’t many apps that support it yet. This situation is bound to change over the coming months, but for now you might find your existing smart TV offers more.
