Google has unveiled the Nexus Q, which is claimed to be the world’s first streaming media player. Powered by the Google Android 4.0 operating system, the gadget comes jam packed with dual ARM Cortex-A9 processor, a 1GB of RAM, a 16GB of storage capacity and a 25W amplifier. This orb-shaped media player has 32 LEDs that light up according to the tones/frequency in music. Additional specs include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, a micro HDMI, Ethernet and a micro USB port. The Google Nexus Q retails for $299. [Google]
What is the Q? Well, it’s a ball… a ball that plays music. And videos. And it also lights up. It’s what Google is calling it a “social streaming device” but what’s most important is that this is finally the realization of the Android@Home standard that was unveiled last year. While the styling is what’ll immediately grab you, it’s the functionality that Google thinks will rock your living room. Join us after the break for our first impressions of this category-defying device.
