Legit Reviews has taken the Google Chromecast out for a spin and, from the look of things, they really liked it.

fter using the Chromecast for a bit we did start to see some limitations. For example we wanted to show off some pictures that we took on our smartphone from a recent trip. The Chromecast sharing button is on the images, but you can't beam them from a smartphone or tablet as it isn't allowed. Laptops have it a bit better as you can install the Google Cast extension on Chrome to wirelessly mirror any open tab on your laptop or desktop PC to your TV. This means you aren't really app limited, but you have to be on your laptop or desktop PC to do that. We want to see that functionality for smartphones and tablets!

At the end of the day we found the Google Chromecast to be super easy to install and begin using. You are looking at no more than ten minutes from start to finish and you don't need to have geek skills either! At first you'll be amazed by it, but after the novelty wears off, you'll begin to see where improvements could be had.

The Google Chromecast solves the problem on how to stream data to your TV wirelessly. It also happens to be very affordable and super easy to setup. If you have ever wanted the ability to share multimedia content from your mobile device to your large flat panel HDTV, this is the perfect device to get your feet wet. It is app limited right now, but at $35 shipped it is a very cost-effective wireless solution for those that yet to have something like this for their HDTV.

If you are a heavy Netflix and YouTube movie watcher you'll find the Chromecast is the perfect companion for your smartphone or tablet. If you want to do more than that you'll need to use a laptop or desktop PC to take advantage of the mirroring offered by the Chromecast. This is the real sweet spot for the Chromecast as you aren't app limited! Google promises more apps are on the way and we have no reason to doubt that.
