Engadget reviews the Nexus Q, Google’s recently announced social media streamer. The $299 sphere-shaped device is priced higher than similar products from Apple, Roku and even the company’s own Google TV.
Features include micro-HDMI, micro-USB, TOSLINK, 10/100 Ethernet and powered stereo outputs. Connectivity options include Bluetooth, NFC and dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n.
Engadget points out that the Nexus Q is easy to set up, but is generally lacking in functionality when compared to its competitors. The review also suggests the device is in need of a Web-based interface.
“The Nexus Q is an impressive piece of hardware that, given time and a serious augmentation of capability, could mature into a very exciting little thing,” concludes the post. “Right now, though, the Q feels like a high-priced novelty.”
The hands-on review includes two videos and analysis of hardware, setup and performance.
