What indicates in the statement &#8220;the first social streaming media player&#8221; is that it functions as a cloud-connected jukebox. The black, spherical orb can be used as an amp to power speakers, hooked up to an HDTV, and is controllable from any Android device running Android 2.3 &#8220;Gingerbread&#8221; or higher. It grabs content from the Internet and lets you play it on your big-screen TV. (Unlike those other, cheaper devices, it also has its own speaker amplifier.) Users on the same local network can also control it from their own mobile devices, &#8220;throwing&#8221; content like video or songs onto it.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the demonstration of Google, Google Nexus Q is a derivative of the company&#8217;s home automation division &#8220;Project Tungsten&#8221;. It measures 4.6-inches in diameter, and weighs a hefty two pounds. <\/p>\n<p>The Nexus Q runs <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.leawo.com\/knowledge\/android.html\" onclick=\"javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('\/outbound\/article\/www.leawo.com');\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Android<\/a><\/strong> 4.0 \u201cIce Cream Sandwich\u201d and sports an OMAP 4460 dual-core ARM Cortex A9 CPU with an SGX540 graphics core, 1GB of RAM and 16GB of flash memory storage. The Nexus Q has a full complement of ports, including Micro HDMI, TOSLink optical audio, Ethernet, and speaker jack connectors, along with a single micro USB port that Google says is for &#8220;service and support only&#8221;. It also features Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 802.11b\/g\/n and near-field communications (NFC).<\/p>\n<p>As to visual effect, the device features 32RGB perimeter LEDs and a single RGB LED that acts as a mute indicator. For the apps it supports, there are Google Play Music, Google Play Movies and TV, and YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>However, when comparing to <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.leawo.com\/knowledge\/appletv.html\" onclick=\"javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('\/outbound\/article\/www.leawo.com');\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Apple TV<\/a><\/strong> it is weak and the price is too high as well.
