Google announces a new Chromecast, now more colourful and includes “Fast Play”

We first heard about the new Chromecast in a series of horribly blurry, leaked photos, but thankfully Google has announced the real deal today, and we have to say it actually looks pretty good. If you’re wondering what could possibly have changed between the old and new Chromecasts, you’ll be able to stream high definition media faster than before. There’s also been the addition of a feature called “Fast Play”, which essentially loads content before you’ve started playing it. Of course, there’s also the elephant in the room which is that the new Chromecast is available in three colours this time around – black, red and yellow – and its design is more of a round attachment rather than a dongle.

To complement the release of the new Chromecast, Google is updating the Chromecast app with some nifty new features, such as being able to see which of your apps have Chromecast compatibility. However, the best news among all of this is that the new Chromecast will remain at its original $35 USD price, making it once again one of the best value media streaming options around.
