- Google said during the event that the Chromecast didn’t need wires or clutter. They completely failed to mention that it needs to be plugged into the wall or the TV via MicroUSB (unless you have a TV that supports power over HDMI). It needs the same number of cables as Miracast and Apple TV
- It’s US only just now
- If you buy one and you only have an iOS device you’re out of luck because they haven’t bothered with the setup pages for that yet.
- There’s no iOS apps that support it yet anyway, even Googles own. Does Google mention this anywhere on their site? Nope
- iOS developers will need written permission from Google to ship an app that uses the Chromecast SDK. That doesn’t strike me as open.
