-
seth.rosenblatt 7/24/2013 5:09:04 PMWhat he means is that there are more devices that will run Chromecast in the future
-
Jessica Dolcourt 7/24/2013 5:09:10 PMGoogle expects to embed the technology into other devices over time, like set top boxes and TVs.
-
seth.rosenblatt 7/24/2013 5:09:12 PMChromecast retailing for $35
-
Jessica Dolcourt 7/24/2013 5:09:17 PMOf course it's beta for now...

seth.rosenblatt 7/24/2013 5:11:09 PMWe'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 PMWrapping up. We're headed to the demo lounge upstairs to check out the devices.
-
Kent German 7/24/2013 5:13:32 PMThat's a wrap. Thank you to Seth, Jessica, and James for bringing us the details.

vikkk 7/24/2013 5:15:27 PMBetter than I/O
-
Kent German 7/24/2013 5:16:22 PMThe 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.
-
Eric 7/24/2013 5:16:46 PMChromecast 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 PMOf 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 PMWill 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 PMNo 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 PMChrome Cast. Google's answer to an Apple TV?
-
Jamal 7/24/2013 5:22:01 PMThere 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 PMWhen 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 PMHow 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 PMThe 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 PMIs 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.
