Baidu launch their own Google Chromecast dongle

Chinese search giant Baidu aren’t shy of the fact that they simply follow Google’s lead, which had resulted in the company launching it’s own Chromecast type USB device.

With things how they are between Google and the Chinese government we can’t expect the Chromcast to be launching here any time soon, but there is an alternative! The Baidu TV Dongle.

The small USB shaped dongle is on sale now for around $32 and offers features such as DLNA, Airplay, video streaming and more. We’re not sure what the dongle is running but we guess a Baidu variant on Google’s Android OS.
