Just curious about the product, it seems like a more integrated version of the Chromecast, don't you see that as a problem competing? Or do you hope to one day merge?
There are a lot of streaming devices that currently exist but none have made the experience seamless or simply enough for anyone to use.

We see it as a similar market to MP3 players around 2001, prior to the iPod. Nearly anyone can figure out how to use an iPod, can't say the same for Chromecast.

We also want to allow users to stream any app without having to wait for developers update their app with an SDK.

It would be more accurate to say Chromecast is a small subset of Sugarcube.

Shoot me an email if you have more questions sri <at> getsugarcube.com
