Hi! I heard about the new Chromecast Set Top Box from Google yesterday on the "Let's Talk Tech" show on Radio KFWB.
There are some exciting developments in Set Top Boxes at this time, the new offering from Amazon is one and the Chromecast from Google could well be another, not to mention the Raspberry Pi running XBMC which I've been using for a while which is always supporting new offerings thanks to its open source development <smile>. Anyway back to the subject in hand, the Chromecast is different in that it doesn't have its own processor so you need to run it off the back of your computer or other device which is hand if you want to pack it into a bag along with your device and take it away with you to your holiday shack or whatever. Because the Chromecast doesn't have its own processor its a lot cheaper than other Set Top Boxes around, its powered by Apps for your IOS device or computer thus I'm going to take the plunge and try one of these things with my iPhone, at only $30 I really don't think I have all that much to lose. ********** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 faceTime +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 Twitter: @grtdane
