AirPlay that comes with iPhone and iPad, offers similar features but obviously there is the limitation of platform support that Google's new device overcomes. Chromecast supports playback at 1080p and will directly content from cloud and won't require you to store the content on the phone. The device is powered by chrome browser, so all the content basically plays on the browser.
