"The Chromecast device is the first instantiation of Google Cast."
seth.rosenblatt 7/24/2013 5:08:18 PM
Yeah, he said "instantiation"

What he means is that there are more devices that will run Chromecast in the future
Jessica Dolcourt 7/24/2013 5:09:10 PM
Google expects to embed the technology into other devices over time, like set top boxes and TVs.
seth.rosenblatt 7/24/2013 5:09:12 PM
Chromecast retailing for $35
Jessica Dolcourt 7/24/2013 5:09:17 PM
Of course it's beta for now...
Jessica Dolcourt 7/24/2013 5:09:25 PM
Oh yeah, that's just become the holiday season's biggest stocking stuffer.

We're getting a sizzle reel of people sending popular vids to their TVs
James Martin 7/24/2013 5:11:11 PM
seth.rosenblatt 7/24/2013 5:11:51 PM
Wrapping up. We're headed to the demo lounge upstairs to check out the devices.
Kent German 7/24/2013 5:13:32 PM
That's a wrap. Thank you to Seth, Jessica, and James for bringing us the details.
seth.rosenblatt 7/24/2013 5:13:39 PM
And of course, Google is giving everybody new Nexus 7's and Chromecasts.
seth.rosenblatt 7/24/2013 5:14:08 PM

Better than I/O
Kent German 7/24/2013 5:16:22 PM
The CNET team is now headed to the demo area to get a first look at the new devices. So please hang with us for photos and video.

Chromecast looks like a winner. One potential issue they glossed over: they talk about TV being connected to the best speakers in the house. That's true, but usually through a separate receiver/amplifier. If plugged in there, will it still work as advertized?
Kent German 7/24/2013 5:17:59 PM
Of course, we'll have full reviews of the new Nexus 7, Chromecast, and Android 4.3 just as soon as we can get them.
Matthew Ablon 7/24/2013 5:19:35 PM
Will the 2012 model of the Nexus 7 get 4.3 today as well?
Kent German 7/24/2013 5:19:56 PM
@Matthew: Yes, over the air updates will start today.
iplayesp 7/24/2013 5:20:01 PM
No Moto X announcement?
Kent German 7/24/2013 5:20:18 PM
@iplayesp: no, that is next week.
JustDozie 7/24/2013 5:21:19 PM
Chrome Cast. Google's answer to an Apple TV?
Jamal 7/24/2013 5:22:01 PM
There wasn't any mentioning of an updated nexus 10 tablet can we expect something soon?
Kent German 7/24/2013 5:22:41 PM
@Jamal: Not until September or after, I think.
UK_Resident.... 7/24/2013 5:22:57 PM
When will this be available in the UK? I can't wait to get my hands on this!
Kent German 7/24/2013 5:23:37 PM
@UK_Resident: they didn't say, unfortunately. Hopefully, we'll know soon.

Domo 7/24/2013 5:24:02 PM
How long until CNET has a full review including benchmarks for the Nexus 7?
Kent German 7/24/2013 5:24:47 PM
@Domo: As soon as we can get a device. That will be very soon, I hope!
Alex 7/24/2013 5:26:20 PM
The only thing that kept Google TV and the Nexus Q from being a success was the price. Chromecast will be a hit.
Kent German 7/24/2013 5:26:59 PM
@Alex: That, and the fact that the Nexus Q was basically useless.
Sid 7/24/2013 5:27:27 PM
Is there a flash in the Nexus 7's camera?
Kent German 7/24/2013 5:27:55 PM
@Sid: Didn't hear that, and doubt it.
Kent German 7/24/2013 5:31:54 PM
Thanks again for joining us for this event. Stick with CNET all day for continuing coverage of Google's announcements, including hands-on with the devices, and more analysis.
Kent German 7/24/2013 5:32:27 PM
Bye, everyone!
