Google's site says with Chrome you can display any tab. So on chrome, its a mirror. The Play apps and other apps obviously just play the content you initiate.

These sound like limitations to me...I want a wireless HDMI chord.

Also Chromecast doesn't support Miracast?? WTF?? There is absolutely no reason to buy this for anyone that doesn't want to be loicked to Google. The non-apple tech industry is going to be accepting Miracast as the standard for wifi based streaming, which works without limitations.

TV's will be coming with Miracast support and adapters will be cheaper than 35 bucks - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrTpWlkupUs

Nexus 4, Xperia Z, Galaxy S3 s4, HTC One already support miracast as will all Windows 8.1 tablet devices.

Why would you want to hope that the app you're using supports Chromecast when you can use Miracast to stream any app or screen to your TV at any time like it was plugged in with HDMI?

Miracast would be nice. Maybe a miracast app will be out to support this too?


That's really all you need in my opinion, unless you want to provide a smartglass like experience on top of content youre streaming. 

I mean, Miracast does 1080p @ dolby 5.1 with AC wifi. I'm looking for my next living room home theater setup to be completely wireless using Sonos and Miracast with a touch screen based PC device in the middle controlling everything.
