The editors didn't like

  • Compatible apps relatively limited at present
  • Mirroring function limited to relaying Chrome browser content
  • Is yet to maximise its potential
  • Limited to compatible apps
  • On July 24th 2014
  • Google announced Chromecast
  • Its new multimedia-streaming technology. Billed as Google's answer to Apple TV
  • This dongle-sized TV stick in fact aims to offer so much more. Si
  • 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
  • No wired internet

  • Abstract:  Smartphone und Tablet mausern sich nach und nach zu Entertainment-Maschinen. Daher ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass Handy und Fernsehgerät immer stärker zusammenwachsen. Googles Chromcast macht jeden TV Android-kompatibel, der Teufel steckt aber im Detail...

  • Viele Apps und Dienste, Einfache Installation, Smartphone als Fernbedienung, Günstig
  • Keine Full-HD-Ausgabe, Heimnetz-Streaming mit Rucklern
  • Es klappt: Für 35 Euro macht Chromecast aus alten Flachbildfernsehern einen Smart-TV. Installation und Bedienung sind kinderleicht, beim Streamen im Heimnetzwerk stieß der Stick an seine Grenzen: Kinosound und Full-HD-Videos gibt es nicht. Wer bislang um...

  • Nuovo design intelligente, Prezzo contenuto, Wi-Fi più prestante, Buon supporto alle app video
  • Non ci sono giochi meritevoli, Non ci sono funzionalità nuove, Nessuna funzione standalone, Il vostro gatto adorerà il Chromecast penzolante
  • Google Chromecast (2015) è il dovuto upgrade del modello precedente, che però rimane perfettamente valido. Oggi non ha più senso comprare il vecchio modello, ma (quasi) non esistono motivi per passare dal vecchio modello a quello attuale...

  • Streaming affidabile, Configurazione facile, Applicazione migliorata
  • Nessuna interfaccia separata, Niente streaming in 4K
  • Non è certo una sorpresa se il primo Chromecast ha venduto ben 20 milioni di unità. Si tratta infatti di un dispositivo economico e facile da configurare e da usare. Grazie a Chromecast tantissimi servizi di streaming hanno aggiornato le rispettive applic...

  • Abstract:  Il prodotto è compatto, simile nell'aspetto a una comune chiavetta Usb. La differenza maggiore è insita nella connessione frontale, che non è la comune Usb ma una Hdmi adatta al collegamento audio-video con schermi digitali; nella confezione è presente an...

  • Abstract:  Chromecast è arrivata nel 2013 come un fulmine a ciel sereno, ed inizialmente non tutti avevano capito a cosa realmente servisse.In poco tempo però Google ha dimostrato l'utilità di questa periferica, e da poche settimane ci ha permesso di poter acquistar...
