What is the cheapest "official" phone that can run Jelly Bean?

 

[jokkir]

Probably Nexus S although there's that Galaxy Nexus that's being sold for $350.

EDIT - Actually, CM10 could probably make it run on a bunch of cheaper phones as well

Nexus Q Media Streamer - Physical Impressions

I have to admit I was originally a bit uncertain about what functionality the Nexus Q would deliver and how it fits in with Google TV, but all makes sense now. The device is really an accessory to everything visual and audio under the Google Play umbrella. That means Google Play Music, Movies, YouTube, and so on can be played back through the Nexus Q to an attached TV or A/V Receiver. If you're the visual type, just watch the video and all will be explained. If not, read on.

I'll wait to see what the hackers do with it.

Nexus S I would imagine, but I don't know if they even make them anymore. Otherwise it's the $350 unlocked Galaxy Nexus.

 

[D4Danger]

does anyone know if Chrome for Android (the stable version released today) supports WebGL?

 

[Awesome]

I don't know much about phones so I have to ask, does the Galaxy Nexus has anything over the Galaxy S3 at all?

Pure google so you get all the updates first and the updates target your phone.

No nasty hardware buttons. Jelly Bean months in advance, too. Better form factor IMO.

$350 just for the phone? There's no way I'll be able to talk my friends into that.

What does an iPhone 4S cost nowadays?

I'm still mind blown that this isn't a high end Google TV with an NFC front end and a Nexus Q App instead.

200 on contract, starts at 650 off. 350 for a nexus off contract is fantastic. I'm going to request my company pick up a couple at that price.

$350 for an unlocked, off contract phone is a smoking deal for a relatively recent release.

 

[mollipen]

Download the app 'Cartographer'. It has offline maps functionality built in (and a whole load of other cool stuff, too). Well worth it.

No offense, but Cartographer's maps seem just a weeee bit outdated.

Here in Canada, you can still buy a locked Galaxy Nexus from service providers for 600$.

Google needs to free us from carrier tyrrany.

 

[Pachimari]

Will be posted fairly soon I would imagine.



Yeah, it's only a private beta for now.

Here

It's missing the Siri competitor, though.

Thanks, looks nice.
I'm looking specifically for the Google Now Assistant (Siri competitor) stuff, can the OP update post #1 when video gets released?

Any interesting Chrome news so far?

Where can I buy a 350$ unlocked Galaxy nexus?!

it dropped to 350 on google's play store today

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Straight from Google.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

It's a shame google doesn't sell the phone to Canada. Would definitely be a big fuck you to the carriers here, then again they're already selling off all their stock so it looks like they are looking to dump it completely before it happens. Guess they figure the S3 is all they need. Which is probably true, sadly enough.

 

[elsk]

Straight from Google.

Awesome, was thinking about buying an iPhone 4 (375$) unlocked directly from Apple when they release the new iPhone in October, but that's tempting.

 

[kehs]

Looks guys...I'm like a Q but useful, and a third of the price!

Guys! Guys!!

 

[kharma45]

$350 for an unlocked, off contract phone is a smoking deal for a relatively recent release.

If the UK got one at a direct conversion (£225) I'd be all over it, not a hope though.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I forgot how awesome flex box was. Tricky syntax though.

Google is going to cap you and Vizio in the head if you keep making a fuss.

<3 I do love my fellow Nexus brethren.

I really need to use calc() one of these days... so cool.

I scanned the OP but is there a way to watch the keynote?

In all seriousness though, is anyone else reminded of the Rolly when they look at the Q?

They haven't officially put it up yet, but CNET France has it.

 

[Toki767]

Wow, their voice assistant sounds a lot smoother than Siri.

Google TV fielding questions for the Nexus Q on G+.

more updates about the nexus q to be released later and possibly more updates down the road. -Kevin&#65279;

Too bad it's way too expensive and should be cheaper than a Roku base model.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

How does this guy have an IE icon in his Mac Dock...

 

[Cudder]

It's up on YouTube.

Thank you Andrex.

Darn - They talk all through it and I can't speak french.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

It's up on YouTube.

Not on the Google, GoogleDevelopers, or Android accounts.

It's totally up, and watched it at my girlfriends place earlier - I just cant find it again.

The audio playback looks like the PS3 XMB. Sony should be doing this for their product lineup,. Instead they're playing catchup or not even trying to at all.

Ditto.

The mics aren't loud enough IMO. Have to crank the volume up, then something like that happens and BAM.

 

[DarkFlow]

Doesn't T-Mobile have a plan specifically for people that buy phones off contract where you don't pay the subsidy fee each month?

I pay $30 a month for 100 mins, unlimited text and 5gb 4g. Every min over 100 is 10 cents and I mostly use grooveIP if I need to make calls. So really I've made up the cost of the phone almost by saving close to $70 a month using this plan.

 

[RoadHazard]

Yeah. But they just posted the overview vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPqliPzHYyc&feature=player_embedded

But... Google Now isn't the Siri competitor, is it? Now seemed like something entirely different to me - a way to automatically get the information Google thinks you'd want at a certain time or in a certain location, depending on what you've previously searched for, etc. It has nothing to do with voice (asking for information, telling the phone to do stuff, etc.), which is what Siri is all about. What seemed much more Siri-like was the improved voice search which uses the knowledge graph to actually "understand" what you're asking. And that's something entirely different from Now, as fas as I can tell.

EDIT: Well, I guess these things will be working together. But Now on its own doesn't seem to be the answer to Siri.

Now information.

http://www.google.com/landing/now/

Yeah. That's not really similar to Siri. The voice search they showed, on the other hand, is.

 

[clav]

EDIT: nevermind, wrong year, lol

Yeah I was skimming through it, and I thought. I don't remember there was a Xbox 360 controller connected to an Android tablet demonstration.
