Have the Google Chromecast received yesterday and have to say that he really like me. We currently do not have a Smart TV and need now no more. About Smartphones (iPhone or HTC), the Chromecast can be navigated easily. About Mac or PC, you can even transfer the Chrome browser EVERYTHING on the TV. The establishment of Chromecast is no more complicated than connecting the smartphone to the wireless network. The Chromecast app (available from the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store) through the device via the smartphone. When Chromecast you really get a lot of benefit for very little money. Not only did he make an HDMI cable (from laptop to TV) superfluous, it can, as I said from the iPhone, iPad and Android devices are all other uses. But He does not work as an HDMI cable, only the image from the laptop to the TV "copy" (or expanded). The Chromecast works differently: The smartphone or device with which one serves the Chromecast, serves as a remote control, the Chromecast only says what he should play. The Chromecast then stream the content itself over the wireless network. This way you can put aside his smartphone or other apps operate smoothly, the smartphone does not have to stay the whole time. Simple and ingenious! This makes the Chromecast the purchase of expensive Smart TV's from Samsung, Sony, Phillips and Co. superfluous. I say this as someone who has sold more at Media Markt TV.
