Looking on Ebay for a Chromecast Dongle I see that here are a lot of, cheaper, Ipush devices:

Are they functionally equivalent to the Google Chromecast?

chances are they work very differently. Chromecast works by streaming directly over wifi, freeing up your tablet/phone to do anything else. Most others stream *from* your tablet.

Also I'd be wary of
"copyrighted videos will not shows pictures but only audio will be broadcasted."

It was that caveat which made me wonder ~ though how it knows what is copyrighted ...
