<p>It's too early to tell, but to me, the value of Chromecast is that if you do have content or access to content in the Google cloud or on the web, you can easily and inexpensively control and play it on a TV. </p>
<p>This is not an Airplay equivalent because it does not stream content from devices, but from the cloud. That is not to say it's bad, because I think that is very useful, but it's different than Apple's approach.</p>
<p>When I get my Chromecast, I will try a Hangout from my Nexus 7 and Mac, because if that actually works, and well, then I see this being very useful for SMB and enterprise. </p>
