We’ve recently posted an article about Google's new feature-packed and very affordable flagship device in the form of the Nexus 7. Along with the tablet, Google has unveiled a very innovative accessory which will certainly be a good addition to what seems to be an already great device (or any Android device for that matter) -- the Google Nexus Q. Dubbed by Google as Project Tungsten, the Nexus Q is basically a sophisticated spherical speaker which also does certain things that you don’t usually get out of an ordinary set of speakers. Aside from being a cool-looking speaker, the Nexus Q is also the first social streaming device. Unlike other speakers before it, this “Cloud-connected jukebox” takes full advantage of Google's Music app to play media. Unlike other similar device before it, the Nexus Q is not dependent on the host device to be able to play media contents. Another good thing about it is that your Android-using-friends connected to the Nexus Q can also get in on the act by having the capability to choose and/or add media to the playlist. You can watch this short video presentation that demonstrate how this works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F5FO-MyR0o The only downside for now about this device is that it only supports Google apps (For now at least) unlike Apple TV/AirPlay who has support for 3rd-party app. Read more in our articles including "Google Nexus Q: The first "Social Streaming" device" and "The day Google broke the Web".
