I included a smaller version of that comparison chart because it is a pop-up that's only 'On Demand' so I wanted to make sure people could see that it was there. <br /> -- Impressive. I actually bought one right away (being a tv/couch potato) although I normally wait a bit since there are plenty of people reporting first impressions.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-68416672229561476262014-04-02T19:26:50.238-07:002014-04-02T19:26:50.238-07:00Yes, it can mirror and 'fling' as well.

Some analysts are likening this to a mini game player. A lot of the FireOS 3.0 features like second screen come to the Fire TV essentially for free just because Fire TV is built on top of Fire OS.

As you alluded to -- it's a little bigger than I thought it would be. Price seems OK to me -- as does the available content. One thing you can do with Chromecast is mirror your PC screen on your TV -- I didn't dig so deep into it to determine whether it could do that -- OTOH Miracast is available on some KF's.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14856691481030828812noreply@blogger.com
