Chromecast - Any good?

I've seen this advertised on TV quite a bit and like the look of it. Has anyone got one that could give their opinion on?

I can connect my Z10 directly to my TV via HDMI cable anyway so not sure if I would immediately see the benefit of Chromecast unless I got an Android phone or Tablet. In saying that, I said the same thing about Apple TV before I saw it...and now think its a great idea for iDevice users!

So is it worth spending £30 on?

NB: Chromecast works with Android tablets and smartphones, iPhone and iPad devices, Chrome for Windows, Chrome for Mac and Chromebooks.

Ahh well if you get a chat room going on it... as MI5 suggests..I will just peer in from the window

I've set it all up fairly painlessly and now trying to figure out the rest of the process

It's straight forward enough. The chromecast app is on playstore and once you download it to the phone and the PC the options to cast are integrated.
