Exactly on the "Breakfast with Sundar Pichai" was presented by Android 4.3, with which the device showed a new direction compact TV set-top boxes. Yesterday, Google published an official tool for developers (SDK), which allows to introduce support Chromecast any Android-or iOS-application even in a web page.
