The other three apps — Plex, Avia and RealPlayer Cloud — are media players that will let you play video or music files of various formats. As Chromecast apps, they will let users send media files from mobile devices and computers to the Chromecast, and thus to the user's TV.
Chromecast, which for now is available only in the United States, where it retails for $35, is a dongle that plugs into an HDTV's HDMI port. Users can stream Internet content from their devices via Wi-Fi to their televisions.
Besides the 10 apps added today, Chromecast also features Netflix, Google Play, Hulu Plus, Pandora and HBO Go apps.
