Oh, you're supposed connect speakers right to it? Well, I won't be doing that if I get one.

Other than that, it seems like it could be pretty useful and cool, but it better be really cheap since it requires that you have a phone or a tablet to use it.

Sorry! Devices on Google Play is not available in your country yet.
We're working to bring devices to more countries as quickly as possible.
Please check back again soon.

As ever google only gives a shit about the US. Which is the reason they will fail.

Nexus Q in the play store $299??

What?! That's just crazy for a thing that does nothing but stream stuff from your phone to display it on your TV. Definitely no buy if it's that expensive.

Sorry! Devices on Google Play is not available in your country yet.

Yeah, I get that too. As with everything else on Play except for Android apps.

 

[Divvy]

I hope they announce that google music is opening for other countries.

All of this Q stuff is totally useless outside of the US.

Will be interesting to see if its just limited to play/youtube.... can't see it being very successful if that's all it does.

Meh. What's the point, really?

Also: Spotify support?

 

[The Albatross]

Nexus Q is pretty cool. I don't think it'll succeed, but it's pretty cool.

$300!? WUT

 

[Divvy]

LOL. Free copy of Transformers 3.

Doomed.

Hahaha, what? I thought they'd sell that for $49 or $249 with a Nexus 7.

 

[kehs]

According to the youtube video for the Q the landscape mode of the 7 puts the nav bar on the bottom? Leave that shit on the side, wth google.

It definitely is. Buy hey, we probably won't be able to buy the Q either, so no harm done!

Lol.

 

[Paznos]

That has to be a placeholder price right?? $299 is way overpriced.

Looks cool.

Somehow I'm not excited though.

edit: $300? :|

 

[Futureman]

First Jellybean look!

yeA.... looks like you can fit more icons on the homescreen and the search bar up top is smaller?

 

[Emily Chu]

wait it's an actual orb thingy ?

whatthefuckamIreading?


300$ GTFO

 

[Hoo-doo]

Is this thing going to be 199$ ?

Edit: The tablet, I mean.

 

[Zeppu]

Google should start doing their keynote on 1 April.

 

[xtop]

$400 Triad speakers to go with the Q

[elty]

I think the only (major) difference between the phone and tablet layout is the dock?

 

[SimleuqiR]

I really don't see the point of the Q. Couldn't you just make it a Google TV box (ball) and add these features to it?

I get that they are trying something new here, but I just don't think they have that "Apple cool-aid" affect on hardware.

That's just for the speakers.

 

[UltraMagnanimous]

$300? That's 3 times more than an Apple TV... so what does this do that I can't do with an ATV?

 

[Zeppu]

Pics of Play Store links. None of that is accessible outside US.

 

[Ephemeris]

What's this? A leak before I start work?

 

[Divvy]

So is that orb thing actually a google tv or android device? Specs seem pretty good for something that just streams stuff.

299+399 + need an android tab/phone.

I assume the speakers are optional but christ.

This device is not available in your country.

I'm assuming Google TV maybe

 

[RoadHazard]

Seems like it actually does nothing at all on its own; all it does is stream stuff from your phone/tablet. So why is it $299?! Just insane.

 

[kehs]

Two minutes to keynote.

 

[Zombie James]

Thanks, Google. Really.

 

[clav]

Maybe it runs Jellybean and has some exclusive features.

 

[zbeeb]

Seems that way, hopefully the keynote shows otherwise but I'm not hopeful. More excited about updates to all the apps.

 

[tino]

299 for a dumb streaming box? Whats wrong with google.

This shit should cost 49!

I can buy a 200 phone that can do all that !

 

[JonnyBrad]

Why would they put an amp in? Surely easier to let people connect their own stuff up? Or are they trying to go after the sonos market. (With a set up that's going to be EVEN MORE expensive!)

 

[Hackbert]

Thanks, Google. Really.

grr exactly.. worldwide equality ...

 

[jokkir]

30 seconds!

 

[Talon]

Unless that Orb is a badass speaker that competes with the Sonos, they're bonkers for pricing it at $299.

 

[Bluemercury]

I thought this was a quad-core tegra 3...

[CharminUltra]

$300 for the Q thing?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
