GoogleCast Since the announcement of Android TV, Google has been moving toward the the term “Google Cast.” As such, Google has updated the Google Play Store apps Chromecast section to Google Cast. The move looks to put emphasis on the protocol — Google Cast being how different devices hand off content to each other — while keeping the Chromecast name for the $35 dongle. The Play Store on the web doesn't have a Google Cast section just yet (and it usually takes a good while for updates to the web store to happen).

With the release of Android TV coming soon, this move makes sense. Other than that, there's not much to report here.
