With months of speculation and a leak last week, Chromecast has finally landed in Australia.
For $49, you'll be able to pick up the Google streaming dongle from Google's Play Store, JB Hi-Fi and Dick Smith, the retail store to let the cat out of the bag last week on its website.
The small HDMI dongle allows content to be streamed from a smartphone or tablet, directly to a TV via Wi-Fi, though your device will need to be connected up to the same network.
It is compatible with Android, iOS, Windows, Mac OS X and Google Chrome OS devices.
Casting in Oz
Chromecast launched in the US last year July, and the UK earlier this year, bringing access to Chromecast-compatible apps such as Pandora and Netflix.
In Australia, as services like Netflix and Hulu aren't available Down Under, out of the box we'll see apps like YouTube, Google Play and the Chrome browser.
Foxtel has announced that Presto will be headed to Google's dongle in July, with ABC iView and Quickflix confirmed to be available as well.
We expect to see other apps like SBS Go and those with services available in Australia, like Pandora to eventually be available for Aussie Chromecasters in the near future.
