Chromecast

Google is the most used search engine in the world. They own many popular websites including Youtube. Not to long ago, Google released Chromecast. A media-Streaming device that is pretty small. When I was thinking of buying this, I thought that is was an interface that was interactive with you just like any Roku boxes or Apple TVs. But, that is not at all what is is. First, you set it up with your device (iPad, iPhone, Android ,PC, etc.). Then, you have to use it with one of the apps that is supported (Chrome, Netflix,  Youtube, etc.). Even though you might think this may be bad, there is quite alot of options. Now, the interface of Chromecast is.................Oh wait there is none. But, this makes the whole Chromecast much more simplistic. Overall, I really like this device. If you are looking for a simple, easy to use streaming device, this is for you. One last thing. It only costs $35!!!!
