The $35 Chromecast is a radically different approach to TV than Google's previous failed attempt, the Nexus Q. It's smaller, cheaper and available starting today. The two-inch dongle looks like a thumb drive and pops into the HDMI port on an HDTV. It turns your phone, tablet or computer into a remote. Choose what content you'd like to stream and the Chromecast will play it on a nearby TV.

The device currently only streams content from YouTube, Google Play and Netflix, though more apps, such as Pandora, are expected in the future. A beta feature lets you stream any tab directly from a Chrome browser running on one of your non-TV devices. With Chromecast, Google is seeking a foothold in a small but growing field. Only 15% of households have figured out how to watch online video on their TV sets, according to Google. The device goes head-to-head with existing Internet-on-TV solutions like Apple TV or the Roku box.

If they expand the apps, this could be killer. Very interesting.
As a cord-cutter, I'm intrigued.

Same thing I thought.
The best thing about this, though, is the fact that there is now more competition with this kind of service. And that's always a good thing.

It's cheap enough to get and small enough to move from room to room. I like it.

I can't use netflix on my xbox because I don't have xbox live. So If I get this I save 25 bucks for the first year and 50 every year after that...
And I can move it from room to room with no effort.
I want this thing.
