Anyone wanting to stream YouTube videos through a Chromecast currently has to visit YouTube’s website or run one of its mobile apps. Viewers may soon have more options, though, as Google has confirmed to GigaOM that it’s publicly testing Chromecast support for embedded YouTube clips on third-party web pages. Right now, access is random at best — the “send to” button only appears some of the time, and might not be available to everyone. The company says it’s monitoring feedback from these experiments, however, and it could offer embedded video support to more Chromecast owners if all goes well.

That giant 6-inch Lumia 1520 that was targeted to launch this month is supposedly being delayed until late October because of the Microsoft and Nokia deal. That is, if we see it at all
| |
If you believe the rumors, Nokia was supposed to launch the supersized Lumia 1520 (aka Bandit) as soon as next week. However, this unannounced Windows Phone may have hit an unofficial snag: Reuters claims that Nokia has delayed the unveiling by “several weeks” in the wake of Microsoft’s plans to buy the company’s device business. There’s no word on an adjusted release date, although the historically accurate @evleaks has heard that the 1520 might appear in late October. Not surprisingly, Nokia isn’t commenting on delays for a product that doesn’t officially exist — but don’t be shocked if there’s a new flagship Lumia later in the fall.
