Google Introduces Chromecast-Specific App Segment To Play Store App

When it comes to Google’s support for their very own Chromecast, you can more or less say that that it still remains rather limited, although there is always the bright promise of additional apps being worked on for the future. Still, the apps that play nice with Chromecast right now happen to be widely used by many, including the likes of YouTube, Google Play Music, Google Play Movies, Netflix, Pandora, Hulu Plus, and of course as recently as last week, HBO GO. Well, we have good news for you – Google is working on rolling out the official Chromecast SDK which will hopefully see a deeper level of integration of apps.

Apart from that, Google’s Chromecast promotion also involves kicking off the holiday season with a new promotion, “For a limited time we’re giving you an HD movie rental from Google Play with every purchase of a Chromecast device. It’s the perfect treat to add to that special someone’s stocking. At just $35 each, why not pick one up for both of you?” according to the Google Play’s site. Do bear in mind that this promotion will be valid for “any movie rental or other content on Google Play valued at $6 or less”. Are you pleased with this development?
