Daily News… GOOGLE CHROMECAST HITS EUROPE, CANADA WITH A NEW WAY TO WATCH TV Gone are the days of squinting at your smartphone as you try to make out what is happening in your favourite film. On Wednesday, eight months after the American release, Google launched its latest innovation -- Chromecast -- in Europe and Canada, a small device the size of a finger which allows you to transfer online video content from a mobile device onto an HD television. According to the Internet giant, the device has done well in the US, with «millions» sold to date, although it has not revealed a precise figure. Wednesday saw the device released in ten European countries -- Germany, Denmark, France, Spain, Finland, Italy, Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden and Britain -- as well as in Canada. Google is also now opening up the platform to developers, with 3,000 already signed up to create content. The Chromecast device plugs into a television through an HDMI port, then communicates with a smartphone, tablet, or laptop over the wifi network. Click the small icon, and you can send videos from your mobile device to your television, or use your smartphone as a remote control. The device means consumers will be able to watch everything from cat videos on YouTube to feature films on Netflix. Content will also vary by country. In the UK, viewers can use the device to watch programmes from the BBC, in France, they can use it for FranceTV Pluzz and SFR TV. While there have been other devices to connect televisions to mobile devices before, such as Apple’s Air Play, Google is betting that the simplicity of its device, its size, and price -- it sells for 35 euros ($49) will win over the market. It is also proud of the way Chromecast allows users to «multitask» -- it is possible to send mails and use other applications while watching television.
