Google Nexus Q: $300 Apple TV Competitor

Posted by Michael Bartholomew on Wed, June 27th, 2012 at 3:57pm EDT

First some specs:

  • Connects to:
    • HDMI
    • A/V Receiver
    • Speakers (contains built-in 25-watt amp)
    • Optical audio port
    • Wi-Fi
    • Bluetooth
    • NFC support
  • Allows multiple users to create integrated music queues
  • Support content from Google Play [Movies/Music/TV] and YouTube

Judging by the specs above, this appears to be a $300 Apple TV competitor, with deep integration with Google services rather than Apple iTunes. With the exception that it is made in the USA, I am still trying to wrap my head around why this is worth $200 more than Apple TV.
