Here's What Google Inc. Is Likely to Announce on Tuesday

It's been more than two years since Google unveiled its low-cost streaming dongle, the Chromecast, in 2013. The device, which retails for just $35, has proven to be quite popular. Last year, according to Parks Associates, it helped the search giant sell the second-most dedicated streaming devices in the U.S. , with 23% market share (behind only Roku).

The Chromecast is relatively simple. It allows users to beam content from apps to their Chromecast-connected monitors and televisions. With such limited functionality, the revision is likely to be minor, but the second-generation model is expected to offer better Wi-Fi technology. That should result in more stable connections and a better streaming experience.
