Could be great, but falls short
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was so excited to buy this device, but was quickly disappointed. It keeps losing the wifi connection and when it does have it, the streaming of Hulu Plus is terrible. I prefer my Roku for now...until the issues are resolved and more apps are supported.

Still in its early stages but needs more apps.

Not worth the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not worth it to just watch Netflix, Hulu, Velo, and Youtube. Should be able to cast everything from a computer.

Chrome cast for Xmas

Found out on TV news program that others are having same problem and a signal booster was recommended. Not happy to hear that. May try getting a signal booster or may return chrome cast. Not sure yet.

Only works with Crome, does not mirror PC
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The display at the story did not make it obvious that anything on the screen of the PC could not be mirrored to the TV. You have to save the output of other programs to a pdf or jpg like file and then bring up the file in Chrome. Not useful for operating on files. The software is in Beta and I have had to reinstall twice. I probably should have gotten a different product.
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Connectivity

Kept losing connection
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Anytime we paused a show or movie it would lose connection with the tablet. We would have to unplug it from the wall for 30 seconds to get it to re-sync. We returned it as soon as we could.
