> They discontinue products that don't pan out and lose them money (like Chromecast Audio)

I got the Chromecast audio and think it is great.

That this was discontinued was news to me. When did that happen? Do you have any links to the announcement?




I don't know why they didn't just add an audio jack to the normal Chromecast. Other than that aren't they identical?


Chromecast Audio was cheap and had multi-room sync. The latest Chromecast can also sync, but sends the audio over HDMI.


I also got the Chromecast audio and I also think it's great. Historically, lots of great products have been discontinued because they didn't pan out, in business terms.


I went to buy one last week. Apparently discontinued Jan 2019. I just missed the boat, and I am sad.


You can just, um, Google it :-)
