Google Chromecast

Google Chromecast for (35$)

Google announced a new product , and it pretty well came out of nowhere.
The idea behind Chromecast is its ability to stream content from the internet, as controlled by your smartphone, tablet or computer.
 Chromecast will be controllable via most Android and iOS devices, along with Chrome browsers on PC and Mac, and Chromebooks.
Initially available on Netflix, Pandora, YouTube, Google Play Music and Play Video, Google has released an SDK for developers to implement into their own apps. This means that your favourite music or video service  could potentially implement the code into their Android and iOS apps and used to stream content to the TV.
The Chromecast dongle relies on USB to power it, so it’s unfortunately not as simple as plugging into an HDMI port and switching inputs. Most current televisions do have a USB port for connecting hard drives.

If an app supports Chromecast, an icon will appear in the app indicating that both devices — the dongle and the phone, tablet or browser — are connected to the same WiFi network, and streaming can begin. This means that a strong and reliable internet connection is necessary for playback, but it also precludes poor device performance from interrupting the stream.
 Unfortunately, Google has not announced available outside of the United States,since it is only compatible with a few applications.
It cost for (35$)
