4 weeks in..... Where are all the app's?

This would be my thought as well.

It annoys me how Google uses the public to beta test sometimes. I know i should be happy for the opportunity, but the feeling of irritation just works its way in sometimes...

Not sure why you feel like a beta tester. Chromecast does everything it said it would do right out of the box. The only additional thing they said was "Chromecast automatically updates to work with a growing number of apps.". And technically, it already has had at least one update. My guess is they want to ensure they can successfully update all of their own apps to work flawlessly first before they let loose the developers, especially with KitKat in sight.

Yeah it doesn't feel like a beta product at all, like you said it does everything they said it would do. I think some people bought it in hopes of the future updates to add more apps and are now feeling put off because that future isn't coming fast enough.

Well i cant deny that it does feel like a finished project(except for the chrome browser casting that has bugged on me a couple of times). I am just ready for third party devs to be able to do something with it. The thing has the potential to do so much more. I am just ready for Google to loosen up the reigns so the fun can begin.

Youtube and netfix work flawlessly though.

Hulu is LIVE!

So, two months after release, we finally get our first app.

Let's hope this is the start of something good!

And hulu works great!

I've already had some issues when streaming Hulu. The lockscreen showing what's playing starts flashing and the notification icon disappears occasionally. It works fine enough though I don't think I will be keeping Hulu+. With Netflix and normal internet streaming I don't have TIME to watch more TV that isn't free.
