2:53 PM

To provide more interactive and interesting presentations - cut the wires and get out to your audience using the Google Chromecast HDMI Streaming Media Player!   

For $35
Yes - for a low-low-price of $35 - Google has a device that plugs into your HDMI port allows you to wirelessly stream video, music, and presentations from your smartphone, tablet, or laptop. 

Hungry Devices
It works with the following devices:
  • Android
  • iPhones
  • iPads
  • Any PC or MAC laptop or desktop with a Chrome browser
How It Works
The Chromecast device communicates over your WiFi network to your mobile device - which is on the same network. 

5 Minutes - Simple Setup
One of the best features is how easy it is to setup.  It is a simple 3-step process that you can do in minutes:
  • Connect Chromecast to HDMI port on TV or Projector, and give it some power
    • (cord included)
  • Configure Chromecast to your WiFi network (or hotspot). 
    • On-screen prompts walk you through this. 
    • You'll need to activation code on the screen for your device.
  • Play.  Open a Chrome Browser or app on your mobile device. 
    • Can you say Hulu or CNN.com?
Supporting Apps
Chromecast is currently supported natively by the following apps (with more to come soon):
  • Netflix
  • YouTube
  • Google Play
Purchasing
You can get the device (although rather popular right now - so be patient) at the following stores:
NOTE:  I am sure more stores will provide the device as it gains popularity.
