Google launched the Chromecast exactly one year ago today, and the $35 streaming stick has made some impressive progress in the intervening 365 days. The media player has added a ton of features, but Google also revealed that it has powered over 400 million Casts thus far, which involve users running software on their Android, iOS or PC device to displays connected to the Chromecast.

 

The device is also now more international than ever, with sales extending across 20 countries including the latest addition, Ireland, as of this writing. 30,000 stores now stock the Chromecast, too, in addition to its online availability through Google Play devices store. The app now has support for scores more apps than it did at launch, can mirror the screens of select Android devices, and has sold ?millions? of units according to Google.

I'm liking Chromecast more and more, since launch day. It was quite a steal at the price it launched with, including 3 months of Netflix with it. I still can't get it to play nicely with 5.1 surround sound with home theater setup, but can't complain for the quick Youtube/Play Music stream.
