Roku's $49 Streaming Stick is a Google Chromecast killer

Roku's new device is about the size of a USB flash drive, comes with a remote, and can run over 1,200 apps. Google should be worried.

Chrome cast was a huge waste of money for me.

I will probably buy one of these when I start moving around after school and give my old Roku to my parents.

Someone explain how this works. Just talk to me like you are explaining it to your Grandmother. TIA.

Not really, since Google opened up the SDK Chromecast will take off soon enough.
My phones ROM already has a built in "Cast Screen" option and I can cast my phone screen to my TV meaning I can cast anything at all on my screen from movies, games, apps, shows, etc.
You can also root your Chromecast and install a custom ROM.
The development community for Android/Google is too large, but good try and effort Roku.

As a Roku owner, I bought the Chromecast to watch youtube videos on my TV and listen to music/podcasts through my A/V receiver. I think $35 is not too bad as a supplement to a Roku or Apple TV.

This is a big advantage. I don't want to fool with my phone to change the TV. Even if I have it near, chances are I'll be using the phone and wouldn't want to switch apps just to change the channel.

Will this work with apple products?
iPad, MacBook, iPhone, etc?
I looked into the Apple TV and did not like it. This seems like a good option.

My TV has most of the apps I use, but no HBOGo. Can I get HBOGo on Chromecast?
