Page 2 of 2

Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) knows what it’s doing. It’s putting out a cheap device that helps propel the popularity of Chrome as a browser. It eats into Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)’s initiatives and potentially undermines Apple’s plans for charging an iArm and an iLeg for its inevitable full-blown smart television rollout.

Chromecast also keeps people online when they crave entertainment. Ideally, it will funnel more consumers into Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG)’s ecosystem.

This is the start of something special, and like so many other disruptive salvos, it began with a deal that was too good to be true.
