True, but at that point, what does the "Chrome" part of Chromecast mean? It made much more sense when the device was tied to a browser, and then (kinda) apps on a phone. Once they added a remote, I think the writing was on the wall for the name "Chromecast".
Google TV is a better "brand", IMO.
- systems 2y agobut the new brand is actually "Google TV Streamer" (3 words) why didnt they just go for "Google TV" (2 words) they also could have played a bit "Google TOP" (because its a table top device) , "Google S" (S for Streamer) , i think the 3 word "Google TV Streamer" , is function over form gone wrong
- ZeroCool2u 2y agoThere's an entire app called Google TV already. https://tv.google https://tv.google
- mbreese 2y agoProbably because they saw what happened with Apple TV (the device), Apple TV+ (the service) and TV (the app). That's a whole headache I think Google is (wisely) trying to avoid here...
