Hopefully it will replay. I don't think I've ever watched a Google event. I'm reading the live blog, starting with the Nexus 6P. Nice that they downsized it slightly.

I've read very little about the new nexus phones up until now, and they sound really great on paper.

Google has updated the guts of the Chromecast to include support for modern Wi-Fi streaming standards (802.11ac, 5Ghz). There are three different antennas in the device for optimized Wi-Fi streaming, whereas the first Chromecast only had one. In fact, the Chromecast team says it worked with the Google OnHub team to design the Chromecast's new antenna structure.
There's also something called "Fast Play" being introduced with the new Chromecast. It's a way for the Chromecast to pre-fetch a video streaming app (like Netflix) and video content it thinks you'll want to watch before you hit play. Though the technical details are a little complicated (think coordination between your phone, the Chromecast's software, and the web service delivering the video), the results are meant to equal less time waiting before you get your Narcos fix.
Google says there are now "thousands" of apps that support casting through Chromecast, compared with just a handful that were available at the product's first launch. These include apps like Netflix, Sling TV, Discovery, Google Photos, and DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket. The Chromecast app itself has gotten a total refresh. As anyone who uses Chromecast knows, the time you actually spend using the app to stream video is minimal — once you find the content you want, you're booted to that specific streaming app — but Google has improved the discovery features within the Chromecast app, with a "What's On" section that shows top content from the streaming video apps you have downloaded onto your phone.

same here!
i needed a new chromecast (my 2 kids are fighting over the same one) and now i can give them the one on the 'daddy tv' and replace it with a lemon chromecast.
eta the only downside is that $15 in play store credit that i've had forever I can't use.
the *ONLY* app i've ever purchased was stadium rat's jambalaya calculator in the history of google play store.

shite, I just read that the new Nexus devices don't have wireless charging either. I've grown to love my Tylt Vu so much that I might call that a deal-breaker.
Posted on 9/29/15 at 12:49 pm to ILikeLSUToo
I'll likely order a subsidized phone like the note 5 or something similar and resell it to get the nexus 6p
