Hi! I bought one of these a month or so back so this was well before the pending launch of the Chromecast in Australia, I bought it because of the high praise the device was receiving on the technology shows I listen to and I haven't been at all disappointed with my experience thus far which can only get better by the sounds of things.
the article linked to below puts the device into perspective though I warn those who have a visual impairment that accessibility could be an issue with the Chromecast if you're thinking of controlling it from a computer, I've not tried this so can't say for sure. I have tried controlling the Chromecast from a Mac using the Chrome browser and from my Chromebox and I'm happy to say that I found no major issues. If my experience is anything to go by, the best device to use with your Chromecast is an IOS device such as an iPhone, iPad etc. Even if you already have an Apple TV, the investment in an additional device such as the Chromecast is certainly worth the while and I prefer to use it these days more than my Apple tve, more controls available from my iPhone for example. http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/computers/gadgets-on-the-go/chromecast-coming-to-australia--worth-getting-excited-20140519-zrh3v.html ********** 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
