Not having an Amazon Prime account, there’s not much I can add to the “it’s there,” piece other than that once again you’re no longer completely stuck in the Amazon ecoverse. So chances are Amazon may come up with a workaround to make Primecast not function in the near future, and that would be a pain as Primecast is not a free piece of software.
Coming in at about $3.00, an Amazon blockade of Primecast could leave users feeling like razing pitchforks and contributing to the deforestation of Amazon, but whether we’re likely to see this or not I do not know. I do know Amazon’s not really been in the mood to get friendly with Google, even though they’re primarily selling devices with a slightly modified Google product.
If you’re interested, go ahead and try it out. You’ve got Google’s two-hour window (yes, they changed it back) to try it out, so grab it before attempting to stream a movie and if by the end it’s not for you, return it.
