REVIEW: Chromecast

The $35 Chromecast is a perfect way to stream media from your phone to your TV. The Chromecast can only stream content from your Android ,IOS6 and later, Windows 7, Mac OS X. The apps compatible with Chromecast is Youtube, Netflix, Hulu Plus, And Google Play music and movies. These features can work for Android and IOS, but on Windows and Mac OS X you can cast your chrome browser to the TV. There is a bit of lagging but it can be fixed. Then again this is a device that if you watch a lot youtube and netflix then this device is for you.

Verizon Nexus 5 or Else

The Google Nexus 5 is a popular smartphone. It is running android 4.4. has a 8 megapixel camera, It is a good phone. But one thing, it is not available on Verizon! This is the 2nd nexus phone ever since the galaxy nexus came out. This means people are going to switch to another phone service or switch to another phone operating system like Windows Phone and IOS 7. In my opinion Google said that they have working on something for 2014, and, switch to another operating system!!!!
