if they do, I seriously doubt it will be $29. They position their products at a higher price than the competition.


That is mostly the case, but not always. When the Apple TV gen 2 came out, the $99 price tag was considered cheap.

ETA: It would also be a simple value add piece of hardware, and Apple loves value add, albeit they mostly do it on the software side.

Wouldn't be surprised if Apple came out with a $79 HDMI stick that only lets you AirPlay in the fall.

Agreed.

If they do price high, probably won't be more than $50. I'm sure they will add some useful integrations that you can't get with a chromecast to add more value.

Mine apparently updated without a notification. Check your quick settings tiles.

Have a Note 3 with Verizon-no update on my Chromecast app. Any other Note 3s out there have any luck?

I have a nexus 10. It worked pretty good. If I switched apps quickly it would disconnect but on average very usable.

Just got it on mine, but I have a GPE ROM that makes my phone think its a verizon GS4. I don't know if that matters.

So sites with live feeds of games seem to require flash player which Android doesn't have. Any sites or ways to get live streams on your Android?
