Another device heads to the Google graveyard.

Maybe they’re coming out with something new and more expensive, or they’ve entered a licensing deal with another -cast-able company so they can charge you or get licensing fees without the manufacturing overhead.

Or maybe they’re just being Google and cancelling yet another thing that people like to use.

They are, I saw an article for it the other day. Some compact set top box running Android TV that costs way more than any Chromecast ever did.

Casting is nice but I’m thinking now is a good time to consider switching to something like Apple TV if you need a dedicated streaming device since there’s basically no price difference anymore.
