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.

Ohhhhh I like this. How do I know if my phone (Note 2) is capable of doing this?

Airplay, Chromecasting etc is incredibly useful to me at work and at home. I'm surprised more people aren't all over it.
