    Like they - unless you demand for more, you won't get more. This is a superb product. A lot has been said about it - all over the internet and for me it lives up to all that has been said. What can make it awesome? Well - 1. if a dashboard feature is add which can show all the user added apps and those apps can be selected or played using a remote app on the user's smartphone. 2. More apps/features like user defined slideshow. Weather display etc. (This is already being discussed on various internet forums). What it can do at present? 1. Converts your normal TV (having HDMI port) into a smart one. Supports lots of apps for casting videos - check chromecast site. 2. Casting a video in a webpage is possible via Chrome Beta browser. 3. Casting a web-browser is possible if your phone has screen casting feature. 4. A nice slideshow plays in loop when you are not playing any video. But this is not user defined. If you just want to watch web videos like the way you can do on a laptop then Chromebox can be good option. Overall this is a very good product and has huge potential - provided its makers move fast in opening it up for more features.

    I have an older HD TV in the living room, it works great but I needed a smart TV so I could watch VUDU movies, No need for a new TV Chromecast to the rescue, I love it.

    This is a great product if you use netflix and any other chromecast compatible products. Only downside is that it is not windows compatible. Android seems to be the only thing it will work for right now.

    The chromecast is an excellent product for the money you pay for it. Easy to use, easy to pair with almost any device and very portable. The lack of a control remote is compensated by the ease of use.

    This inexpensive little dongle helped my sister get much better access to Netflix, Hulu+, and YouTube. To be fair, she did have access before, but it was through the apps built into her "Smart" TV and Blu ray player. Those apps are not the easiest to use and don't provide a clean interface. The Chromecast however provides the best user interface... Her mobile device. Previously she would find content to watch on her Nexus tablet and then search for it using the Blu ray player. Once her device is associated with the Chromecast, all she has to do is toggle the Cast button on and start the show. Her tablet tells Chromecast what to play, but the Chromecast does all the heavy lifting of going onto the internet and streaming the content. She can even switch out of the app while the content is playing to do other things. Multitaskers rejoice! The only issue I've had has been infrequent connectivity loss. This was setup in an apartment building with a lot of other WiFi networks visible, so I think it may be more of a wireless congestion problem than any issue with the device. Additionally, Google has released the SDK (the code that lets developers make apps) so hopefully the number of supported apps will increase significantly. The current number of apps is much lower than that of Roku, but owning a Roku I can say that the number of apps I would use on it are way, way lower than the 1000+ that they advertise.

    Very easy to connect, once connected and paired with another device, it becomes very easy to cast programs from a tablet or similar device to the TV, (Side note,I have noticed not all programs can be cast)
