I looked at my local Walmart on Thursday and there was no Chromecast with the Roku products.

Next time you're there, I'm very curious to know what serial numbers they have... and whether they are of the format 3xxx101xxxxx or something different.

Just look on their site. If one is avail at a store near you the site will tell Ya. Then head on down to check the serial. It's 2013

Back to WalMart today. Might have missed them the other day as they were in a special cardboard floor display at the end of an isle.
Must have been over twenty of them, mostly 3A's but there were around six or so that were 3802 and 3807 but I didn't pry out the three that were in separate pockets! :laugh:

Of course its now in WalMart, that where all worthless old technology goes.

Your mileage may vary, my Chromecast is far from worthless.

While I would never buy a computer from Wal-Mart, lots of people buy TVs and other consumer stuff there.
Chromecast in Wal-Mart means more market penetration (I recently noticed the TV ads for Chromecast), and now they're finally making active strides for outside development with a hackathon at Google HQ.
Looking at the serial numbers alone, we have at least 30M Chromecasts produced, and that's using a conservative calculation of 10K units per first-four range, but there should definitely be more than 10K per, as the final 5 positions are definitely alphanumeric.

Apps for Runners?

Hey all,
Are there any programs for runners that I can use for my fuze? Specifically, something like a GPS program that will track my route/distance/speed. I've heard this kinda thing exists for other phones, but not heard about this phone.
Thanks.

sorry you had to resort to an iPod...I just puked a little thinking about it
Thanks! Just what I was looking for.
SportyPal is quite good, I'm using it for cycling(very good), but i read now on some thread that for running they have added to show the pace in real time with also all the other tools for measuring speed, distance, calories ...
try RUN.GPS, works very fine on mine.

+1 for SportyPal (sportypal.com). I use it to track my kayak trips down the rivers in the panhandle. It will overlay your path on an aerial photograph and has links with Facebook, so you can share it.
Sportypal is my program of choice. During the cross country season I can give my phone to one of my lead runners and track their pace during intervals and can also tuck it in my jersey pocket when I go on bike rides and have all that data at hand as well. Best thing? It's FREE!
check out endomondo. very nice and free.

I got an e-mail from them, that very soon they will have the option to choose the workout type from the phone as kayaking, rowing or some other interesting type of sports.
I dont think anyone mentioned G-Watch which I have found to be excellent for just what you described.

Some new types of workouts are added:
skiing, rowing, horse riding, driving, flying, sailing, swimming, hiking, paragliding, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, surfing

SmartRunner is one of the best applications for tracking, imho.

Digital TV WiFi / Bluetooth receiver

Hi, folks!
One of my friends appeared today with a very cool accessory for his iPhone. He bought a wifi digital tv receiver for his iPhone. I have to admit that this is one of the greatest accessories I´ve seen!
Although it´s a WiFi receiver, only iPhones and Symbian phones are supported, once one has to install a program to use it. In the link below you may find some pictures of this accessory:
http://www.garotasemfio.com.br/blog/2010/06/24/review-modulo-de-tv-digital-tivizen-para-iphonetouch/
My question is: is there anything similar to Windows Mobile?
Thanks in advance!
hmmmmm...well interesting device.
Look neat but I would not buy it. If you have to spend money, just buy a TV tuner for your home pc and install this: www.orb.com
google search find
no idea where to buy one though
here is the company site for Bluetooth Wireless DTV Receiving Solution.

But still don't know where to buy. Please let me know if you know where to buy.
Thanks
yea i seen this a while ago and thought id love one for my 7500, but as you said cant see where to buy one anywhere. would consider it though if the price was right.
Any news, guys?
waichai:
You can't use this because u can use this in China/Korea only, it was CMMB/T-DMB which only used in China and Korea!
I've a solution for a long time ago already!
You can use Slingbox or Orb!
Slingbox was a top-box that u can stream your TV(HD) outside using it's Slingbox program(PC or PPC), but the top-box cost much... NO MONTHLY FEE
Orb is a free solution similar as Slingbox, you no need a top-box but you need a computer with TV-TUNER card as server, and create a account and install Orb in your computer, so you can stream your TV using your browser(opera, ie,, on phone or pc etc.), format .asx! ORB IS FREE!
I am using Orb now, but it's quilaty quite low and i want to buy SlingBox, but it cost...
I HAVE NO MONEY...

Is there any benefit buying it from Google Play?

Just to clarify, is there any particular benefit from ordering it from Google, as opposed to Ebuyer for example?
Certainly is to me.
If I have a problem, I don't want some other company in the middle.
I don't think you get the extra's like the £15 credit & the film unless you buy from Google.
Okay, so the £9 I could save getting it from Ebuyer is not really worth it?
ebuyer seem to suggest we do get the £15 credit - I didn't notice it when I ordered, I think it's been added since.

However, I cannot seem to find the footnote for the asterisk besides the line stating the £15 voucher :/
Yeah there's no footnote that I can see either. I'm sure they'll soon open a discussion thread for it, and plenty of people will be asking. I made the decision to order it from ebuyer not expecting to get the credit but it will be a nice bonus if I do. Delivery time was more important to me.
I couldn't find the * as well but if you look at the banner on the right hand side it doesn't show one
I used quidco and got 2% cash back (£4). Not much but every bit helps.
£196 for the tablet with £15 credit and free delivery. :good:
The credit and freebies seem
to be included with US retail sales. (Staples advertises the credit). I'm guessing that sales out of the US may or may not include them - but that there will be no difference between Google Play or third party sellers.
I assume that the main advantage is delivery time.
Google is presumably walking a tightrope, trying to both ensure consumer access to its hardware with Play, and trying to not undercut the retail channels it is wooing.
D'oh - Well spotted
This is the sort of discussion the stickies are for.

UK - Second Batch / Non-Play Store Thread

So, will you be holding out for the second batch from the Play store or purchasing from somewhere else?
I've called Google a couple of times and been given no definite answer very vague in fact. 'Check online'
I've phoned and called into CarPhoneWarehouse local to me, 'N4, don't know, no idea'
Where else have you tried?
Dates for availability?
Prices?
I'm waiting oin mine to be dispacthed but I do believe Google are starting to say 2 weeks a lot more consistently in their emails. Not the greatest of info but I hope it's a start.. :good:
Well I didn't get one so I'm holding for the next Batch.
Went to my local CPW this morning they did have them in stock but they for contact only.
I did get to play around with one. I must say its a big stop up from the plastic galaxy nexus
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

He went away tp check and said they're not currently selling it SIM free and doesn't know if they will be, hasn't been communicated to them.

They will be selling it SIM-free, but they're not sure when. They're waiting for the green light from HQ and they're waiting for more stock to come in. Because they're not sure when they're selling they are also unsure of pricing. I have been told £349.99 directly but there are rumours it's going to be £389.99, as you can see from the graph above.
Please continue this conversation in the UK thread that already exists
