Chromecast now open to developers with the Google Cast SDK
Chromecast is missing one thing, imho: a controller for my kids.<p>I'm not giving my kids the Nexus 7 every time they want to watch something on the TV screen.  The Chromecast suddenly goes from a $35 to a $235 device.  Instead I have a uHost android-stick that uses an accelerometer-based airmouse... it's not good, but it works and cost me $50.<p>I keep waiting for Google to complete the Nexus line with a bare-bones 4" low-quality phoneless device for kids - an answer to the iPod.
