Motorola permanently slashed the off-contract price of the Moto X down to $399 on New Year’s Day, but if that wasn’t enough to tempt you into buying one, maybe a free Chromecast will be. Google’s $35 wireless dongle now comes free with the Moto X for a limited time.

Treating yourself to a new Nexus 7 this Christmas? You may want to add a Chromecast to your basket as well. If you buy both devices at the same time, Google will give you $35 of Google Play credit to spend on apps, games, movies, music, and more — effectively making the Chromecast dongle absolutely free.

Google has today announced that an additional ten applications for Android and iOS now support Chromecast streaming. VEVO, Red Bull.TV, Songza, and more have been updated to allow users to enjoy news, sports, and music on their $35 dongle.

While Android may be running away with the lion’s share of the smartphone market, there’s still no doubt about what rules the roost when it comes to tablets. New data from InfoScout reveals that roughly 40% of iPads sold on Black Friday were purchased by Android smartphone users.

Google is in the process of rolling a silent, much-needed, over the air update to all of its Chromecast units located within the United States. The update brings a couple of highly-requested bug fixes, in addition to a refreshed home screen, which promises some dramatic speed optimizations.
