"Already ordered mine." - There are so many products/apps that do this already. Why didn't you pick it up from somewhere else already if you wanted this feature?

In terms of this product, I already have a WiDi adapter for laptop to TV streaming and a Plex server for all video streaming. Not sure what an extra HDMI adapter will do other than give Google access to my viewing habbits.

None do it with this simplicity and across so many device types.... for only $35.

$35 dollar price tag is my first concern. What else do they want from me when the price of entry is that low?

Secondly, this isn't simple at all. So far only a handfull of apps work and you really can't stream anything you want.

Why doesn't it just support Miracast with some Google APIs for smartglass like functionality? As is, we are getting another proprietary product that is 100% under Google's control and require app support and development. Its Airplay 2.0 that works on all devices and not just apple, isntead of a wireless HDMI chord that you're making it out to be.
