As a fellow editor pointed out in our early hands on review
We're still looking for a native way to stream Amazon Instant Video from a phone or tablet to a Chromecast
Or mirror iOS devices to the TV with it. It's not wise to hold your breath for either

While it's compared with its more powerful competitors, comparing the Chromecast against them is harsh as it's not attempting to replicate them.At €39, it is an inexpensive and easy way of turning a TV into a smart TV, which requires little effort to set ...
