Of course, what you probably care about is how well the Chromecast works, and the answer seems to be fairly well, at least here at Google's event with the latest build of YouTube. This isn't like Apple's AirPlay or Miracast, where there's a direct peer-to-peer connection: Chromecast is running web apps independently of your phone, streaming content from the internet rather than mirroring directly. You will need a Wi-Fi router of some sort, Google tells us, to give it internet connectivity and get all the ducks in a row. There's also a little button next to the microUSB port that resets the pairing process. Google tells us the next part is fairly simple, too: the Chromecast dongle generates its own Wi-Fi hotspot, and you can connect to it with an Android, iOS, Windows, or Mac OS X app to pair it with your home Wi-Fi network.
