Google officially introduced their new Chromecast with Google TV today in an event in Palo Alto and there's some amazing surprise features we didn't know about! While we've previously leaked most of the details of the new device we now have the official price at $49.99 and you can buy it at BestBuy at the link below. As previously reported the new Cromecast comes with a voice remote control so you can search for your favorite programming without having to hunt and peck on the screen keyboard. The new Android TV based interface is a dream to use and lets you search for any title across any app it is available on. It'll even prompt you to download an app you don't already have to get a title.
Now for the surprise. Apparently the new Chromecast with Google TV includes DVR features that you can schedule and activate right from your phone. You'll be able to schedule the recording of programs on your tv back home and then watch them...pre-recorded when you return home waiting for you. How cool is that! We're super excited to get our hands on one to test out. The New Chromecast is available in three different colors, snow (white), sky (blue) and sunrise (pink) as well. We've put a link below to purchase at BestBuy. We can't wait to check this out.
