Time for a lovely little competition this afternoon, and this one’s a fun one!
I have one Google Chromecast up for grabs…
Chromecast is a thumb-sized media streaming device that plugs into the HDMI port on your TV. Simply use an Android phone, tablet, iPhone®, iPad®, Mac® or Windows® laptop, or Chromebook to cast your favourite entertainment and apps right onto the big screen.
So very versatile, and easy to take out and about with you, too. I can see it being handy when going away on holiday, and in the home. I believe that Google offer free movies through it, as well as the fact that you can stream things from your phone or tablet through it onto your TV screen. You can also use it to play family games, so that’s one to check out and have fun with. It could even be used at work, saving the need for a projector, casting slides onto a big TV screen instead. You can beam your apps, photos, games, and more from your phone to the TV, though this does depend on your handset, so do check this out. Handy little thing, isn’t it?
So to be in with a chance of winning one, enter using the rafflecopter below. The give-away is open to UK entrants only, and ends at 12am 27th July 2015.
Thanks very much to JNB for supplying the prize, good luck!

To catch up TV
Our Chromecast is seriously one of the best little gadgets we’ve bought! We’ll be hanging out, someone doing something in the kitchen while someone is hanging on the couch on their phone, and suddenly there’s a new movie trailer everyone just needs to see immediately! Quick, turn on the TV, hit “cast,” and everyrone in the room is now watching the new trailer. Magic!
I’ve also used our Chromecast to watch Lynda.com tutorial videos on our huge TV instead of on my laptop (cast from the Chrome browser). I can curl up and just watch TV to learn, which is much more comfy than sitting and staring at a laptop at a desk for an hour.
Such a great idea, isn’t it? A nifty little thing, and as you say, so much easier to cast onto the TV than crowd round a small screen.
