Google’s Chromecast, the HDMI wonder designed for entertainment has hit the shores of India. The device has finally made its entry into the Indian market after its worldwide release in July last year. There has been no official announcement as of yet but the dongle has been spotted with online retailers. Amazon has pegged it at Rs.3099. eBay on the other hand has listed it for Rs. 3998. So you know which store to buy from.



Chromecast is an HDMI media player that plays audio and video on HD TV. When hooked into the HDMI port of the TV, the device connects to the Wi-Fi network and streams online content on TV by synchronizing with YouTube, Netflix, Google Play Movies & Music and Hulu plus. It also works with smart devices based on Android, Windows and iOS that help control regular features like playback, volume and managing program lists. There’s also ‘tab-casting’ that mirrors content from Google Chrome. The feature though, is in the beta stage at the moment.

The device had received positive reviews from all corners and witnessed high demand in the US. It was released with a price tag of $35 then. Google hopes to tap the entertainment market in India since it’s simple and amazing but most importantly affordable.

Its still officially not available for India. I think we should wait for its official launch. Prices will be even low on official law.

This gadget is useful for YouTube video playback on tv
And if you know plex very well then you'll may be able to play local content easily
Netflix and Hulu plus aren't yet available in India and if you'll try to play it through VPN then google chromecast won't play it because it tracks DNS server and it uses of google and it's hard to crack
However if you'll have a brand new one and if it has factory firmware then it can be rooted and hence can gain access to router specific DNS
Hope this helps you'll
If you'll didn't get then PM me

Thanks for the cool info. And it's great that it can be rooted too.

So, do you suggest purchasing it international model from eBay or Amazon or wait for Indian version to launch
