Google cans the Chromecast Audio

One relies on server support and multiple clients supporting it. The other does not.

I have an old iPod nano sitting in a box that still works as good as the day it was bought. It’s possible that a few years from now the Chromecast Audio will be nothing more than a paperweight, and it’s a bit light for that.

They're still supporting the Chromecast Audio though. They're just discontinuing an old hardware product, which really isn't out of the ordinary.

Heh. These are all paperweights. The nano was one when it was new. You needed itunes to use it. No way to transfer music to it (at least on linux at that time; maybe people hacked it later). I remember I won one in some contest, and was excited until I plugged it in. End of excitement.
