AusDroid: "For those of us who have a Chromecast, it’s a fairly powerful device for a relatively low cost. Yes, at this stage we still need to import the device from the US, although if rumours have their way we might see an international launch of the device in 2014. Time magazine have recently announced their top 10 Gadgets for 2013 and at the top of their list is the Chromecast, defeating the Pebble Smartwatch, Kindle Fire HDX and Apple’s new iPad for the top spot."
It's not the first time when Google integrating Apple service into its system. Apple Music will be available on Google speakers soon.
Google Cast devices, like the Chromecast and Google Home cause temporarily Wifi dropouts for users around the world. The issue has been confirmed for routers from Asus, Linksys, Netgear, TP-Link or Synology. In some cases the router is totally inaccessible for a while, other users report the router only disconnects from the internet. TP-Link and Linksys have confirmed the issue.
This is getting old now, but every time I see it, I think the same thing. Why would Linksys or other router makers have to do anything about this? It's clearly a Google Cast infraction. They need to fix their intrusive garbage.
Specifically, Office Depot has the device listed on its website for that price, down from the $35 price tag it usually carries there.
