Google's Chromecast officially available for Canadians

At long last, Google's answer to Apple TV, the Google Chromecast, is officially available for Canadians. The WiFi-ready TV add-on, thus far, has only been available north of the border, though many-a-canuck have bought it and used it here since it first launched. At just $39, which is four dollars more than what it costs in the US, Canadians are now 'officially' able to push content from their iOS or Android phone, directly to their HDMI-ready TV's.

Chromecast also works on other Google products like Chrome to push content directly from your PC or laptop to a nearby TV.
