Additional Thoughts on Google Cast

 

Dear Google,

 

   Thanks for announcing that Google Cast will be coming to Google TV (as announced by Google TV Developers).  This is awesome news!  But, on my way home tonight, I had an additional thought:

 

   Make the Google Cast Server available for all devices!

 

  For example, create an app on Google Play for Android, as well as iTunes for iOS, and hell, why not add a Google Chrome extension as well.  This app/extension will actually be a Google Cast Server!  Just like the Chromecast.  This will allow me to make any device be a display, and controlled by any of my other devices.

 

   Think about this for a moment.

 

   You take a trip, and you left your Chromecast at home (it's new, and easily forgotten behind your TV). But, as always, you bring your phone (of course, you also have your phone.  who would leave that home... and not turn around to get it) and HDMI enabled laptop/tablet with you.  Now, you can sit back in the bed, and fling your favorite supported content directly to your Google Cast Server device.

 

   I'm sure there's a multitude of other scenarios that would make sense for this as well.  But, I'm sure if this can be built into existing Google TVs, this can be easily added to any Android or iOS device.

 

   Who's with me?!

 

Sundar Pichai, Hugo Barra make this happen!

PS - This can't shouldn't be an always on thing.  But, I leave that to you.
