Invites are going out for a Google event in San Francisco, Calif. next Wednesday, July 24. Dubbed "breakfast with Sundar Pichai," the event will likely cover new developments in Android or Chrome, the two product areas Pichai now oversees. The event will also be livestreamed on YouTube for those who can't be there.

Will we see the new HD N7? And maybe Android 4.3?

We already know everything, the leaks have gone rampant on this.

It's like a 7" Nexus 4, spec wise.

Indeed, with a full HD screen.

It looks like JB 4.3 has also some improvements to increase performance.

Ordered 2 Chromecasts. As a cord cutter for over a year, this got me pretty exited. Will be purchasing the new Nexus 7 over a new KFHD as well (but will be keeping my current KFHD).

That looks like a very interesting device and, at $35, no reason not to buy it. Well, other than it's not available in Canada.

Bellingham has two Best Buys

Chromecast will be available for $35 starting Wednesday from Amazon, Google Play and Best Buy. Best Buy will also carry the device in stores later this month.

Funny thing about Chromecast - with the exception of the Pixel, it doesn't work with Chromebooks

For now, but it will with an update.

I snagged one for an effective price of $11 ($35 - $24 Netflix offer). Since I already subscribe to Netflix, I'll be getting three months free ($24).

I don't have netflix but I've been meaning to get it. This finally made me pull the trigger.

I can't decide if I want to get a Chromecast or not. In looking at it I'm not sure it'll give me anything I don't already have through various other hardware. Hope they get more apps on it ASAP as right now it seems pretty limited. On the other hand the three months of free Netflix makes its effective cost really low.
