Party mode is a way cool idea. I can see big events encouraging attendees to use it.

 

[pooptacular]

did anyone notice the out of contract galaxy nexus has dropped in price? $350, so cheap, time to jump in.

 

[jokkir]

RIP battery using Party Mode. And data but I have unlimited so doesn't matter for me

 

[LyleLanley]

You mean the out of production iPad2?

Out of production?

 

[thespot84]

I love the integration but it's kind of creepy in the sense that besides sleeping google and their algorithms are going to have access to every moment of your life.

Doesn't the remote app for iOS include a way for multiple people to vote on upcoming songs? Isn't that essentially what shared playlists are?

Does it? I've never seen that in the remote app. Granted I don't use the remote app too often with. It sounds more like people can add their own content to the playlist which sounds different than voting on the next song from the existing playlist.

As for headless, I'm pretty sure you can use an Apple TV headless, unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean by headless.

I'm not quite sure how well Apple TV works headless though as I don't think it's designed around that. I've used it to push stuff from my phone to it but based on that experience it seems like headless usage might be fairly limited. I don't know for sure though, it just never struct me as something that would work well without being hooked to the TV but I could be wrong on that. This seems designed around headless usage, so I was just assuming it would be better at it. Hard to tell at this point.

I guess syncing playback on multiple devices is unique to this though.

Not really unique to this though; other devices do it. It's just something Apple TV doesn't do.

iPad 2 : 768x1024
N7 : 800x1280

That doesn't mean anything when apps on the N7 will have to be optimised for the physically smaller screen.

The G+ App even proved this. It looks cramped as hell on the N7.

 

[TouchMyBox]

Does the Nexus Q support DLNA?

If not, it's a worthless piece of crap.

If it did support DLNA and had as wide support as wd live streaming player ($99) and also had Netflix and YouTube like the wd live streaming player, it might have some potential.

They said they're making it easy to hack.

In other words, it will support everything ever.

 

[kagete]

Hey guys, Party Mode is On! #YOLO
...

Hey, where is everyone?

 

[Vyse The Legend]

iPad is $400 for the base model.

People that would buy the iPad 2 over a 3 are pretty short-sighted... and silly.

 

[Davidion]

Gundotra has REALLY come far as a presenter, i feel like.

 

[JordanKZ]

So buying a 16GB Nexus 7 here. Shame you can't buy one at the moment due to server errors. But seriously £199 is killer for such tech.

 

[jokkir]

I think Play Store updated? 3.7.8

 

[jobber]

this is pretty cool

 

[Divvy]

This is pretty cool. Might get me to use Google+ again.

 

[Technosteve]

google + on ipad... soon wtf is this soon shit

 

[mcfrank]

You mean the out of production iPad2?

It is not out of production and was slightly updated along with the iPad 3 release. It has a die shrink and better battery life.

[zbeeb]

I can imagine party mode could get embarrassing if some dodgey photos end up on the stream

On a side note, we are seeing with the Nexus 7 that it has a GN style bottom bar and pull down notifications from the top. Do we think this is set to be the new tablet layout? Or we simply have a 10" layout, 7" layout and very similar phone layout (same as 7" but fullscreen notification pulldown)

 

[Achtius]

most engagement from guest... 3 comments..haha

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Vast majority of users on twitter dont use twitter.com or twitters own app unlike facebook and g+ where the apps related to them are from facebook and google respectively. There is no way to track active twitter users

Lol, how about users who make a tweet in the last month? Or those who have their account data polled with an authorized an app?

There's no way Twitter even has 250 million active users. It was barely 120 mil earlier this year.

 

[Vanillalite]

Gundotra has REALLY come far as a presenter, i feel like.

Google needs to use him more often as a front facing person from Google to the world.

 

[wario]

Umm, it's been unified since Ice Cream Sandwich.

i was referring to the drop down bar on the nexus 7 tablet.

 

[JCX]

In regards to Play TV, will I be able to buy a season pass like on iTunes, and what is the DRM situation?

 

[kehs]

This stuff sounds really complicated for people.

 

[clav]

Whoa.

 

[reKon]

OH SHIT

 

[celebi23]

Oh, looks like there's a AVD template for the Nexus 7

Here's the Jelly Bean logo

[jokkir]

lol @ the cameras going up when he comes in

People that would buy the iPad 2 over a 3 are pretty short-sighted... and silly.

People who would buy the Nexus 7 or Kindle fire are pretty short sighted too, but to say the iPad is $500 is factually wrong.

 

[opticalmace]

Like the N7, not sure about the size though.

I used a Playbook and it was too small (I think it's 1024x600 or something though).

 

[Paznos]

PROJECT GLASS.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Glasses. Sweet, nobody gives a flying fuck about G+.

 

[LCfiner]

You mean the out of production iPad2?

they're still making it.

all you had to do was check the Apple store to see for yourself before you made your comment.

 

[Killthee]

Surprise Glass demo!

 

[ThatObviousUser]

i was referring to the drop down bar on the nexus 7 tablet.

The status bar? I think that's only there because it's 7". 10"+ tablets will probably have the Honeycomb/ICS status tray.

Goddamn wizard magics

 

[Marty Chinn]

A built-in amp means nothing to me. I've got a nice digital connection straight into my stereo system. :/

Anyway, I can see this being a nice "concept" device for Google, one that they can harvest precious usage data from, but beyond that it is just a concept device.

Again, I'm not saying if it's good or not but just what it's features are. The amp can be useful because if you plan to have this in multiple rooms, it's not always ideal to have a huge stereo setup in every location. For my Squeezebox setup, I have one in the kitchen, one in the office, one in my little girl's bedroom, and one in our bedroom. Someday I'll put one in the same room as my main audio setup. In each of those locations, they're in small tight areas where I wouldn't have a nice stereo system.

 

[zedge]

Yep..selling my transformer and getting a nexus 7.

 

[kehs]

What the fuck is going on?

 

[kkaabboomm]

!!!! skydiving with glass?

 

[clav]

extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemeeee

 

[Divvy]

Holy shit!

 

[SimleuqiR]

Sergey!

Sky diving live!!

WTF?

 

[numble]

You mean the out of production iPad2?

They created a new SoC for an out-of-production device?
The 2012 iPad 2 gets 16 hours of battery life playing video.

 

[deadhorse32]

rock and roll bitches

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Final total for Nexus 7 - 16GB: $284.78

[def sim]
