Android: Nexus Q

While yes it may be a worthless device right now, I think google has something up their sleeves. First off they included more in the device then needed.

One "easter egg" was found already in the application.

Seems to be a siri like conversational thing.

I wish it dropped in price but I'm guessing it will in a few months as there probably won't be that much interest. The guys at XDA and a few other devs are already cooking up things for it. They want to allow it to stream other apps besides just YouTube and the Play Music. Its only a matter of time before they do that as the Q is basically a GoogleTV with a built in amp.

I wish they would release a device similar to the boxes SageTV sold who they bought out.

The hacking begins:

Wish they sold one without the amp so it would be cheaper. Would be an interesting hack project.
