Chromecast Rebrand
I think that is wonderful offering a low cost service for Google Chromecast linking a variety and networks and services etc.
Google Cast
I've been told that Google works three, four or even five years out on technologies and projects. In other words, stuff we see today was developed a while ago. So on that note I guess it's not a surprise that they have leveraged this technology across more devices.
Re: Google Cast
@Mike:
Looks like that is the case.
But if we think about it 3-5 years is pretty long duration to have something cooking at this dynamic age. I wouldn't be surprised to know in some cases their end product would be way off their initial planned scope considering the constant changes that needs to be accomodated.
Re: Google Cast
But again if we think in a different perspective they may put their effirts towards having a basic framework techonolgy in place by making sure that could be easily scalable. In this case getting this technology ready for mobile devices they appear to be on the winning side.

Rebranding... or De-branding?
I think the thing a lot of news outlets are missing is that "Chrome" is disappearing from more and more Google product lines. Android is going to absorb Chrome OS, and now Chromecast is dropping the Chrome name... so it looks like Google is quietly retiring Chrome OS... and I wouldn't be surprised if Google renames its browser someday, too.

Re: Google Cast
I have heard this very same thing, Google is always working and thinking ahead. Which is really obvious given their massive success in the tech world. They seem to be commanding just about every type of technology that exists. It is not surpring at all that they are expanding Chromecast. Actually, the technology seems a little exciting and I'll likely check it out. Being in the forefront of people choosing to "cut the cord" and leave their cable behind.
Do you think the name change will make the product more appealing to the public?

Re: Google dogfoording
This is kind of unrelated, but a while back I heard a former Google employee mention the company's use of "dogfooding."

Re: Google dogfoording
@Mike Robuck I would say Yes and No as Google still buying declasified military technology and research... at least it for creating better life for us as consumers - I hope :)

Re: Google Cast
Very true regarding the lead times Google and others work on. The previous firm I worked for had MSFT as one of their top clients and back in the year 2005 I went to visit their "Center for Information Work." I had to sign confidentiality agreements and non-disclosures. At the time, they showed us what would turn out to be MSFT Surface, although it wasn't called that yet. This was a good 7 years before the product was available at retail.
