What Google’s Chromecast Has That All the Other Web-to-TV Devices Don’t

  • It Works with a Lot of Phones. This works on both Android and iOS, meaning you can swap out phones or tablets or computers with different subscription services, or movies downloaded. It opens up a lot more content, and if you’re making the switch from iOS to Android, you aren’t stuck with a box that can’t stream your smartphone content, like you would be with Apple TV.
  • It Turns (Almost) Every TV into a Smart TV. Any television with an HDMI port — so probably not that old clunker you bought on Craigslist — turns into a “smart” TV, with your phone or tablet or laptop as the remote control, allowing you to play videos, control volume, or even turn on the TV.
  • The whole thing makes watching TV from your phone or computer seamless and at $35 people who watch a lot of streaming TV from Netflix have almost no reason to buy it. Without the Chrome tab projection thing the whole offering gets a little less enticing. But at least for now it looks like a more elegant way to connect HDMI to multiple devices by just plugging in.
