Chromecast 2.0 coming in various colours and more apps

Google is updating its Chromecast streaming dongle with a different form factor as well as a variety of Googly colours. Priced the same as the ubiquitous Chromcast HDMI stick we all know and love, the new Chromecasts can manage faster and higher resolution video transfers. It will be available in lemonade, coral and black starting today in 17 countries and will set you back $45 when you buy it from the Google Store, Best Buy or Wal-Mart. Apps for accessing services like Showtime, Spotify and NBA are built-in. Aside from Chromecast for Video, another device focusing on Audio is also being made available for the first time.
