New homeowner/home improvement DEALS

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
You need a tablet or phone running Android to stream content to the Chromecast (not sure if it runs with iOS devices).

What I hope is they allow you to stream content that is physically stored on your device.

A reviewer was using iOS with it, so apple products will work as well

Interesting, from what I understand, the apps that you can stream with have to be Chromecast enabled too... so Netflix already released an iOS Chromecast-enabled version?

I like the price point of this device but if you are a member of the walled garden (aka...Apple/iTunes) then Apple TV with AirPlay is probably a better choice. OS X Mountain Lion now natively supports AirPlay mirroring making watching Flash videos and regular/free Hulu on your TV a snap.
 
Chromecast basically uses Google DIAL (DIscover And Launch).  The mobile device basically send a URL to the Chromecast adapter and the player inside the adapter opens the link and play it.  Once more content providers start streaming in the format Chromecast can play, it would become more useful.
 
Netflix Promotion No Longer Available
Please note that the Netflix promotional offer (which was available in limited supply) has now ended. Customers who ordered their Chromecast prior to 5:31 PM PST on July 24, 2013 will receive a Netflix gift code via email within 5 days of their product's ship date.

Got two of these today for the living room or maybe master bedroom sitting area.  Not bad for $100 each delivered.  Target.com has some good deals on clearance furniture if ur willing to look.  Free shipping with Red card and returns are easy.  Reviews seem honest at target website.  This one got surprisingly good reviews.
 
If I see that pedestal stand in my bathroom ... someone will NOT have any toilet paper to use for a week!
