This year, Google’s I/O keynote speakers didn’t use the phase, “available today…” as often as they have in the past, but they still offered an interesting look at what Google has planned for the future. We still don’t know what the next version of Android will be called, or if it will be 4.5 or 5.0, but a lot of its features were introduced as coming in the “The L Release,” due later this year.
VentureBeat is reporting that new studies show a drop in several types of Chromecast streaming. Even with everybody streaming video more than ever, it seems that traffic is on the decline for Google’s plucky little HDMI dongle. It looks like some of the early buzz has softened for some users.
Reuters has detailed a new Cisco report indicating that internet traffic from video consumption continues to show signs of increase. Currently 78% of traffic is from video and that is expected to increase to 84% by 2018. This is not at all a surprise to most of us in the tech world but it is a metric that could be used in the hotly debated net neutrality topic.
Odds are pretty good that you’ve heard of Roku, even if you don’t own one. Roku is one of the most popular streaming set-top box makers in the world, bringing high definition video entertainment directly into your living room almost exclusively via a small, square, purple box.
The times are always changing, and the latest craze is streaming dongles like the Google Chromecast.
Amazon announced their new stream box, on Wednesday, beautifully named Fire TV. For $99 this compact set-top box boasts a Qualcomm quad core CPU, 8GB of internal storage, 2GB of RAM and dual band, dual antenna WiFi (because no one likes waiting for their movies to buffer). All you need is an HDMI cable and a high definition TV and you’re good to go! According to Amazon the specs alone makes it roughly 3x faster than both Apple TV and the Roku 3. Fire TV packs alot of…fire power (I know I know but I couldn’t resist).
It will come as no surprise to anyone who follows me on Techaeris when I say that I love the Google Chromecast. Earlier this year, I wrote an article as to whether the $35 dongle mattered and why; in short, I believe it matters because the proliferation of the device and an open SDK is helping Google create an industry standard for casting content to screens in a market where others have had either marginal success or failed.
