Chromecast-peeking

Google started rolling out a very much-anticipated update for its official Chromecast application via the Play Store earlier today. This upgrade brings support for the Android Screen Mirroring feature which was unveiled at I/O back  in June, however, Google states that it’s still in its beta phase so if there are any minor bugs present, don’t be alarmed, they will all be ironed out by the time the final version rolls out later this month.

Earlier Google announced Android TV, a revolutionary new piece of software which essentially combines some of the best aspects of ChromeCast together with a new user interface, in order to bring both Google’s Play Store and Search to your television. Now, Razer has just officially revealed that it will be the first company to take advantage of the brand new operating system in its green-glowing, puck-like, micro-console that’s primarily aimed towards gaming.

Chromecast has been a runaway hit for Google selling millions of units within months of its release. Mozilla is now set to battle it out against Google’s $35 HDMI streamer with its own Firefox OS powered device that will work in a way similar to its competitor.

The unnamed device will allow users to beam content from their mobile devices, PC or Firefox browser to their TV.

Google Chrome for Android now allows you to restore tabs after they’ve been closed and stream videos from the web to your Chromecast, thanks to a new update that’s rolling out via Google Play this week. The release also adds support for fullscreen videos with subtitles and HTML5 controls, and the “multi-window” feature on some Android devices.

The OnePlus One’s Camera and Gallery apps have been (unofficially) made available to download for other Android-powered smartphones. They’re based on the stock CyanogenMod 11 apps, which are based on the stock Android 4.4 KitKat apps — but they offer some nifty features that you don’t get direct from Google.
