Google's Chromecast is Mountain View's next foray into the television market. In brief, it's a $35 HDMI dongle that mirrors content being played nearby on a tablet, smartphone or computer. (Hrm, that sounds familiar.) Importantly though, the mirrored content isn't beamed from your local device, but is streamed from the cloud direct to the dongle when you activate mirroring on a Chromecast-compatible service like YouTube or Netflix. At that point, your PC or mobile is freed up for multi-tasking, and for working as a WiFi-based remote control for the content on the bigger display. Check out our hands-on to see the Chromecast in action, or read on for more detail.

OK, if you're anything like me, you kinda want one of these! It's only $35 and you can beam things from your phone or PC straight to your TV straight through your WiFi connection! No, your TV doesn't even need internet access, either. OMG I want one so bad ;-;
What do you guys think? Is this a good idea or not?
