Hot looks the 4.6inch black sphere with a ring of dancing rainbow LEDs is beautiful to behold. Builtin amp delivers 12.5 watts at 8 ohms per channel, and sounds excellent through a variety of speakers. App support goes back to Android 2.3. It's hackable. Autocalibration feature uses your handset's microphone to sync video and audio. Those who embrace paradox are ultimately more interesting,
Lack of support for popular software platforms, hardware devices and streaming apps limits the experience. The price is a big turnoff. Google Play TV and Movies app needs work. Setup is not smooth and easy, requires Ring of TFM. The "check back in a year and see if anyone's done anything interesting with it" line isn't an attractive proposition.

Abstract: Được Google giới thiệu ở Google I/O vừa qua, Nexus Q là một thiết bị khá đặc biệt so với các sản phẩm từ trước đến nay của Google. Đó là một thiết bị có thiết kế đẹp, lạ và chất lượng phần cứng tốt. Tuy nhiên những gì chúng ta làm được với nó là chưa nh...
Abstract: AS CONSUMERS start to own more than one device, the need for a separate device to act as a central 'command centre' becomes more apparent in daily life. Google recently announced the Nexus Q at the I/O developer conference, a self-produced entertainment m...
It's not for everyone, but you could dig the design of this thing. Look at the picture above—doesn't it look like a sentinel from The Matrix? Bad ass. Build quality on the orb is very solid. Setup was very easy (when it worked). Audio quality and picture
There are so many bugs in the system, it's hard to know where to begin. First off, the Q sometimes has trouble staying linked with the phone. Tested on two separate Qs, a phone, and a tablet, it had issues with every setup. The testing required factory re
No. Well, if 320kbps is just what you like, you have all of your music on Google Play, a fast internet connection, and $300 doesnt sound like much money for you, then sure. For everybody else, this would be a cool novelty item (or it will be if once the...
