This isn’t so much killing the Chromecast but releasing a new, albeit more expensive, version. They changed the name, but it’s not exactly another product in the Google graveyard. It’s more of a rebranding.
That said, I did like the original Chromecast and especially the Chromecast audio. I liked the idea of my phone did just about everything. I didn’t need a remote or a shitty UI on an underpowered device. It did one thing, and one thing well, play the video/audio stream url that got sent to it.
