addition to Android 4.3, Google has presented today a surprise: Chromecast , a new device that connects to the HDMI port class=”caps”> of television and allow content streaming in an extremely simple.
Chromecast applications that support will have a button, “Send the hall”, which will begin play content on television. For example, on YouTube you can click the button to automatically switch the video to the TV. The most interesting is multitasking: you can leave the YouTube application on mobile without the television playback stops. Also you can change the volume of the TV or pause / resume the video from the lock screen.
currently only a few Android applications and supporting iOS Chromecast: YouTube, Google Play movies and Netflix . Pandora added this integration soon. In addition, Chrome for Windows and Mac is also integrated with Chromecast: we send Chrome tabs, Hangouts photos or videos of YouTube and Vimeo to television with the push of a button.
For now, the SDK Chromecast is limited to a few developers, and not much more . We do not know how to connect to your home wireless network, or if you need a previous configuration … Also, it seems that only work with content coming from the web: we can not make a movie streaming on your disk, for example.
