Apparently google has notices the limitations of its capable chromecast device so it decided to allow screen miroring allowing us to stream any application to our TVs !!!! (The compatible Devices linup is still limited though but it is expected to expend over time)

I wish they'd release these things when it came out instead of half-finished products with an update 6 months down the line when they 'get around to it' and then sell out on day 1 because they didn't think it'd be so popular for under $40.

 

Actually I'm just angry I lost the stupid thing and need to buy a new one.

Just a note, this update might not update automatically depending on your region.

 

You can load the apk manually no matter where you re from tho If you find it (and it s very easy)

 

(You have to enable non official app security setting even if it s google that made it)

 

I just installed and i m in canada btw.

I don't think that's accurate. I got the update automatically in the UK. Works fine.

 

well fixed that but anyway, it might region locked (since i had to enable unofficial apps to install ti)

 

now for a nice combo, with your cellphone you can get Office for free, now get a cheap bluetooth kb/mouse and you got a cheap netbook...
