It's weird that they include Chromecast to that comparison chart. Sure, they offer some of the same features, mainly streaming video to the TV, but that's where the similarities end. Chromecast is not a set-top box, it's a second screen device. It's up to the apps and other services to extend functionality to this second screen. In the comparison chart, for example, it says Chromecast doesn't have voice search, well, you can voice search youtube and have it play on Chromecast so that single point is incorrect.
I sat through 20 minutes of a co-worker directly comparing these two items the other day. As different as they are, people look to both company's offerings like they're competing neck and neck.
