Slightly off-topic rant:

In the (European) country that I live in, you can actually buy an Apple TV. Whereas Chromecast simply does not exist.

One can argue all day about how awesome Chromecast is, but if you can't buy it, well, it isn't really competitive. And this has happened with a lot of other Google products which where announced with great fanfare in the past.

Off-topic, I tried to buy a 1-dollar song the other day. This may come as a surprise, but not only Google, but also Amazon were not willing to take my money. Of course iTunes happily accommodated me, as it has always been doing for many years.




Same thing with selling apps on play store, it seems that google ignores most of the smaller countries.


International releases take time.
