“Google Cast, the same technology behind Chromecast, lets you cast your favorite music from your mobile device to your speakers. Simply use your Android tablets and smartphones, iPhone®, iPad®, Mac, Windows and Chromebook to control the music directly from the apps you already know and love.

The easiest way to send music to your speakers

With Google Cast, there’s nothing new to learn — listening to your favorite apps on your speakers is as easy as the press of the cast button. Search and browse, play, skip, and turn up the volume directly from the apps you know and love on your phone, tablet or laptop. Friends can even join in and use the apps on their phones to cast to the speakers, too.”

Sony, Denon and LG will all be producing speakers with Google Cast support”

So there we have it, Google have no added one last ingredient to kill the Apple TV Box. Will Apple ever update this box? Or does it need to? Remember, this is cross platform!
