I know this is a nitpick...I really do, but for some reason things like this in marketing copy really annoy me:

"Remote with no line of sight required" - not checked for Chromecast. While kind of true since Chromecast doesn't have a dedicated remote, but the devices used to control it absolutely don't require line of site.

I agree, you could say the same thing for voice search since you can use voice search on your iphone/android to queue up videos to airplay/cast.

And for "games" (many exist, though not of the sort that this device promises).

Agree with both of you and also wanted to add, who cares about how much memory the Chromecast has vs. the other devices?

The same is (sorta) true of Apple TV. You can use an iOS device as a remote via WiFi.
