No timeline, but the following was a response from TED support.
TED Support said:
We’re really excited about the Chromecast, and can’t wait to bring it to the TED apps and website. Until then, you can access TEDTalks through our Youtube channel via a Chrome browser and Chromecast via that!

Aside from Youtube, there are a few ways to stream TED talks to the Chromecast, but official support is always preferable.
Other methods that I could find

I would like to see TED support Chromecast. Though I suspect I can probably find them in BeyondPod (which already supports Chromecast). Yup... there they are.

Plex support TED and BBC iPlayer. You have to install it's media server on your computer and add the channels. Then use it app (cost $5), which can then Chromecast the contents, but Plex detects more than just Chromecast. For BBC iPlayer, I couldn't get it to work due to 404 error, not sure if it's a temp issue or just me.
You could take advantage of the Amazon $5 Christmas giveaway where you down an app using their AppStore and they give you $5, use it pay for Plex.

These two apps are my favorite and most useful tv guide apps i use on my ipod.
"What's On TV"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wV-k7VfAC-A
"i.Tv"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YXu7WrehPY
"What's On TV" is great but it doesn't support landscape mode. "i.TV" is a great app that supports both modes but does alot [i like the more simple "Whats On TV" app]. It would be great if these apps were ported!!
Or, if anyone has another TV Guide app they can suggest, that would be awesome.
I used to use TV Guide Mobile (http://tvguide.handmark.com/), but it does not have digital channels
Thanks!
that handmark app is no longer available. i've seen a few freeware tv guide apps but they have no visual appeal. the apps are in basic text. i might have to dust up the old keyboard and get to some ol' fashioning programming and making some GREAT apps

That would be amazing if you or someone could create such an app.
I will definitely subscribe to this thread in hopes of some news.
Thanks!

Just an app that would parse through the data on http://www.tvguide.com would be enough for me....
For now I use http://m.tvguide.com/ which (sort of) works...
Take a look HERE

After clicking the link and reading the technique (even if I was in Italy), my head was spinning. I think I'll wait till an app is made or a widget for WM6.5 that reads dish network, Direct TV or TV guides websites and parses the data in realtime.

Spotify is now releast Official
http://www.spotify.com/en/mobile/overview/install-for-android/
And it works really good!!!! =)
fantastic news, but did you really have to post it in multiple forums?
can someone close the one in the hero android development forum??
oh, and the one on the hero forum.....seems someone had a spamming moment!
I dont find the Spotify app from the market with the search. Is it area-related?
Only available in Sweden at the moment, it seems. If you read the triple post on the Hero-forum, I put up a link to the apk-file.
Kiitos! (Works great, tho offline sync seams to be bit slow atm.)

Also available in Norway....
offline sync is nowhere near as fast as the video demo for the iphone appears to be.
but then again, to sync 150 songs, you are effectively downloading them all, so can't really complain its not instant!
Also i'm in the UK on a t-mo G2...
and found it late last night when was browsing through apps on the market..
Spotify DOWN YO!
Can someone explain how its justified to charge £10 a month for this service? Is it really that good?
Allows you to sync your music to listen to it offline.
Yes, IMHO, that's worth a tenner a month.
Regards,
Dave
Is there any kind of trial available?
I'd like to see the full functionality before paying for a subscription.
Well, you can try the Spotify service directly on a Windows PC, but you won't be able to test out the Android client without a premium subscription.

Dave

I've being using it on my pc since the trial, but I wanted to see if reception was good enough for me to use this on my commute. I'm not quite sure what the offline listening people have mentioned is. Hence a few days trial would be enough for me to decide one way or another.
Offline listening means you can sync your playlists to your device, so you can listen to them without having to stream them from the net.
Your best bet is to buy a subscription, and cancel it if you are unhappy with the service.

£10 a month
Sorry to sound a bit cynical but whats up wi just plugging ya phone to pc and copy and paste
Copy and paste what? The desktop version of Spotify doesn't allow for offline play, so you've nothing downloaded to the PC.

Dave

I'm sure I'll sign up to this when I know I can afford it.
How long does syncing take? Would a playlist of 100 songs take hours?
Anyone know of any sites that stream TV feeds? A friend of mine got me onto vuivision.com which streams NBC, CBS, and ABC. I was able to watch the NY Giants give Oakland an asswhooping earlier. Would be cool if someone could make this into an app to give them more exposure.

hey sweet, using the g1's browser i can watch streaming tv on my phone
Seen this on Reddit, works pretty good for MP4 and WebM videos for sites like Vimeo.

*I should mention this only works with Chrome at the moment.
I wish there was some way to use this for Amazon Prime video....casting the full tab isn't a great option for me. Of course a mobile app would be the real answer but Amazon just won't do it!

Agree. Amazon Instant Video is pretty much the only thing my TiVos and TV have over Chromecast for my intended use.

AMEN!! WatchESPN, along with WatchDisney Junior, are the two channels that I have been wanting more than ANY other channel out there! I'm a huge college football fan and although I've got a pretty nice channel lineup and sports package via Charter, there are still games out there that just simply aren't offered around here on Charter. In addition to WatchESPN, I have a 4 yr old son and like how I used to be when I was younger and how most other kids his age are, he LOVES to watch cartoons, especially the likes of Disney Junior, Cartoon Network, Sprout, etc. The WatchDisney Junior channel coming to the Chromecast would just make my (and my son's) day. I think the only thing holding it back is probably having to do something with licensing issues because if you've ever tried to view WatchESPN or WatchDisney on your computer, you must log-in to their service by typing in your cable tv service provider login info before being able to view those channels.

Likely there would be an app like HBO GO, which requires you to do the provider login on your phone/tablet during setup.
As always, be sure to contact the content provider to request support. Unlikely you'll get a response, but hopefully your vote will be counted.
It works very well for me at this www.mistreci.al with movreel and uptobox thats what i needed

I can tell you from my own personal knowledge that many of the content providers who rely on Cable Company Sub payments are very hesitant to release content for use on Big Screens (which CCast support basically is) which could hurt their Subscription fees later on due to the Chord Cutters taking the cheaper route to their content.
One of the Major hold ups with Time Warner and CBS in that last contract battle was over rights to Internet streaming.
Time Warner wanted the rights to them but CBS wanted to hold on to it for further sales to companies like NetFlix and Hulu or even for their own sites (which the three major nets do now) To a OTA broadcaster it's easier to keep their content free because the content has already been paid for via the Advertising and the goal is to hook more viewers to the shows on their Network.
But someone like ESPN, HBO and SHOWTIME, they are highly dependent on Cable Subs and therefore can't just put the content out there so will likely require a Cable Subscription/Login to view because if they did it on their own without such a subscription or tried to do subscriptions on their own it would be cutting off their nose to spite their face plus add the cost of a Subscription support department they have to pay to maintain their own sub service. So those companies are likely to remain a Cable Sub only service.
This is the one thing Chord Cutters will have to deal with, Sure you can get the OTA stuff and some stuff from low rated networks trying to lure people to their content but the stuff you REALLY want will almost always require a Cable Sub to get.
I have been in quite a few meetings where this is discussed and while the greed makes them think about offering their own ala carte subscription model they quickly realize that no one is going to pay as much for HBO on HBO's website as they currently get from the Cable companies themselves.
And if the Cable companies decide they are not worth having on their system anymore these companies like HBO stand to lose their shirts!
So they back down quickly.
Just a quick comment on the Amazon Prime thing....
I think this may be a sign that things between Google and Amazon are not as rosy as they probably should be.
You would think Amazon Prime was all over this from day one but apparently not.
Now that the SDK is public I expect to see something from them in the future.
Good points. It's not easy to understand the policies and actions of all the parties involved unless you know something about the business model from their point of view.
BTW, it's "cord cutters", not "chord cutters", as in cable = cord. Chord usually refers to music or geometry, but in any case nothing to do with this topic.
Re: Amazon - I wonder if they are coming up with a media box solution too. Could explain their reluctance.
WhisperCast?
Of course Canadians ignore them because they offer no media content here. Which is strange as they're selling these walled-garden Amazon tablets with beautiful screens in Canadian stores, and nothing but Netflix & YouTube to watch on them.
Hello,
There is a new in the XDA developers portal that says:
Code:
Chromecast Owners Get Free Movie Rental.
Google is offering a free HD movie rental to all Chromecast owners.
To avail, simply click "Claim" on the offer on the website, and select a movie of your choice to rent on Google Play.
The offer credit is applied on checkout.
I've checked the offers in my Chromecast and found nothing... I'm in Spain, so maybe it's a local offer.
Check again. I have that offer with mine.

Thane for answering. I just checked again and nothing... Seems to be a regional offer...
