Even though online video is becoming a bigger part of the way people consume media, regular television still far surpasses it. It will be interesting to see if people will consume more long-form content on YouTube just because they will have an easy way to watch it on a bigger screen. It would have been great if it was powered by the HDMI, but I guess you can't have everything in such a compact and affordable device. Even if you don't always need one, Chromecast almost seems like a no-brainer for the price just to keep around with you in a bag. The biggest issue for most people will likely be the quality of their WiFi signals (as long as their network is fast enough). Simply by typing in the location of the video in the browser, Chromecast should be able to play it through the Chrome extension.

It looks like you're limited to 720p for Chrome tabs (and probably all of your other devices), but a potentially great feature is that apparently the Chromecast can play most videos that are stored locally on your computer. This could be really helpful for filmmakers or others in the creative industries for connecting their laptops or mobile devices to a big TV to show off work in front of a large group of people. When you want to move it, you're simply pulling it out from the back of the TV and bringing it wherever you have to. For $35, you could buy three of them for the price of one Apple TV, and leave them connected to specific TVs. If you already own an Apple TV and you've been using AirPlay, none of this is anything new, but what makes this such an interesting product is its price. Once Chromecast is connected, it looks extremely simple getting the content to display on your TV. I can see this becoming a really enticing option for households that want a simple way to have all of their televisions capable of playing content from their mobile devices.
