Rebranding: The report says Google plans to market the new dongle under a new name, likely branded as a Nest device, which Google acquired in 2014.
When: The report says it’s unclear when such a new device will be officially announced, especially with Google’s annual I/O conference cancelled and other COVID-19-style supply-chain slowdowns in place.
Bottom line: Still, Google jumping into the streaming wars makes a lot of sense, especially as Chromecast has taken a backseat to more capable devices. If the company can offer the device and service at a low price, it might replicate the earlier success of Chromecast.
