The Nexus Q was a wonderful concept: a high end device que would stream content to your TV and media center using your Android device. It would be great for parties, Allowing all of your Android wielding friends Their Own to add music to the playlist. And it would give you easy access to all of Google Play, Äôs content. If this thing was actually released for a good price, it would be a wonderful product and a perfect gateway to Google, Äôs average content. Unfortunately, things simply didn, AOT work in October
The device came with a massive pre-order price tag and limited functionality. Google Decided to delay it and give out the pre-orders for free. This left the Nexus Q with an unsure future. We didn, AOT hear of it for a long time, and Eventually, it Seemed like it was dead.
Fast forward to the recent Play Music app update, Which removed support for the Nexus Q. Suddenly, the device was a lot less useful than it already was. And now, the most recent update to Play The Same Movies did, basically putting the final nail in the coffin and sealing the Nexus Q, Äôs fate for all but the most dedicated of hackers.
So what, Äôs next for Google, Äôs Nexus Q? Nothing, it seems. The device is dead, and we can, AOT do anything about it. But Google will have another attempt at media device like it? The Google TV box in this design would be awesome, if Google TV actually got some attention from Google. It seems que Google doesn, AOT care about GTV whatsoever, but keeps it alive for whatever reason. Giving it a good scrubbing and some new features, plus some good advertising, would do it wonders. Google TV is a great concept, but someone needs to make a great implementation.
Would you be interested in a true-designed Google TV box?
