I think Nexus Q seems to be interesting. Don't know whether I will buy it.
Worth it... if....

...if you get it off ebay for $200 w/ free shipping instead of the list price of $300+shipping and tax from the android market. If development takes off (which is looking good so far) you will definitely wish you would have gotten one new in box off of ebay not instead of waiting later. I can't imagine it will be long before people have all kinds of cool stuff running on this thing. Dev's have already got some nice preliminary work tests: launcher's running, netflix, pong, installing and running apps through adb. Good things are ahead.
Currently if you have a jellybean device you can push Google Play music and movies/tv shows as well as youtube. If you only have an ICS phone or tablet you can control it with the help from bobukcat. He has put together a super easy tutorial on how to use the Nexus Q with an ICS device (here) until Google puts out their updated app for everyone down to Gingerbread. With this I can only get Music. I don't own any tv or movies through Google Play so i cannot say if that works...
Being that I already use Google Music for my music it is nice not having to physically connect my tablet/phone to my receiver when i want to listen to music and do other stuff with my device at the same time. Google streams whatever quality your original file was so they will sound the same as the mp3s you have ripped. Last I looked Google's max bitrate supported is 320kbs and 20,000 uploaded songs. I don't think purchased song count towards your song count (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
All in all tthaz777, I'm glad I picked one up. The thing looks fantastic and construction quality is great. It has a satin finish so no nasty finger prints. The visualizations are cool and the boot sequence has a futuristic look. The convenience factor is great. Development possibilities wide open.
**I haven't hooked them up to analogue speakers yet so I cannot attest to how well their "audiophile grade amp" works. Anyone try this yet??

Thanks for your long reply. You must be a Nexus fan.

Just bought one on eBay for $205 sealed new in box

Now that XBMC is running on the Q, I will be picking up at least one of them.
Hello
I'm considering to buy GS3 or maybe wait for note2.
One thing that concern me when i tested GS3 in the store was that
it didnt play some of the clips on webpages where my iPhone did.
One ex is this :

Why is it that iOS can play this and not Android?
Appreciate if you guys can explain this.
Also how do you make the video clip float, it's a cool feature samsung added
Cheers
Maybe youtube client or flash plugin weren't installed. but if you install these you can play all w/o problems of any sort

Beacause Youtube app would not have been installed...it plays fine on my GS3...GS3 will play anything and everything (at least AFAIK)..
When it comes to other fileformat yes i know Samsung is king (why i like Samsung to begin with :good: ) but this one i'm assuming was a youtube clip.
I'm confused since it did play a few other clips on other sites. I mean if youtube wasnt installed already it would not have played the others either.
@Zoot1: If i interpret your comment right you could play it just fine? (this is good news then)
AS to flash well iPhone doesnt have that so i'm assuming this is not flash related (i think).
ps. i wish Samsung would announce their note2, i have a reeeeally hard time resisting to buy this nice phone, the screen is so damn nice, everytime i use my iphone i want to run to the store and get me a GSIII but must resist until i see the Note2 hehe
Anyone else in the same boat as i?
Did anyone watch the google event just now? What do you think about their new "Q"?
My thouhts;
The positive - great seamless connectivity between all platforms and the price ($35!)
The negative - I kinda like the way to have something "beautiful" (like the Nexus Q was) on top of my receiver in the living room. This whole thing with a hidden tiny HDMI-dongle is just not my cup of tea. I'm also a bit concerned about the sound quality through that tiny thing when streaming Google Music for example. One thing I liked about the Nexus Q was that it really had *great* output audio quality through the HDMI to my receiver.
Another thing I did not like at all is that they still keep bashing us that don't use google play to see our movies. I have most of my movies on my computer in MKV and I want to be able to stream them! This is again where airplay from apple is ahead of google...
What do you guys think?
Btw, is there ANY chance what-so-ever that the new stream button in youtube/google music will have compability with the Nexus Q?
I bought one just because of the price and portability !
I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope the new buttons work with the Q though. I liked having it as a jukebox on my mantle.
the lights are beautiful!

one can hope. or just keep using the old apps.
Nexus Q
Wish it had an option like the banana jacks for speakers like the nexus Q does.
Since they released a chrome cast SDK maybe someone at XDA will be able to implement support for chromecast in the nexus Q?

I am hoping for the same thing.....if there are even Devs left....
Or, since we have the parts we need (HAL drivers etc) to make a chromecast rom?
I hope that the chromecast can get ported over i would hate to just toss my balls away they are very cool looking.

Okay, so now google says they're adding chromecast compability with Google TV - which RUNS ANDROID. Just like the Nexus Q does.
Even more hope!!!

when I get home I'll try the app to see if it'll "map" to the Q. Yesterday it was trying to connect to the bluetooth stereo in my car.
Plan B is putting an amp in where I have my Q now and working via the audio out from the TV

I am using the Sonos AMP where my Q was so I still can connect HTMI on my TV to my speakers. Now adding the Chromecast to the TV I should now have a Q replacement.
My thoughts on the Chromecast compared to the Q:
I just got my 2 chromecasts in today and I wanted to share my experience.
It can do all the basic functionality the Q could and more, but there are a few things the Q did better regarding play music.
With the Q one could start music from one device, then pick up another and "now playing" would be synced. This isn't the case with chromecast. Same thing goes the the queue, It isn't synced either, which is odd because I thought I read that others could join in and add to the queue. I always loved this feature with the Q because I could start music in one room with my phone and later control it with my tablet in another room. Plus, my wife would always like to put her songs in on the playlist as well. I also had issues with connecting a second device and the music would just stop. Perhaps future updates with fix some of these bugs.
If you have any other questions, I'll be glad to answer them!

Hi,
I have a Gear 2 that I'm very happy (except the part that we can't install any ROM yet...) and I would like to buy another smart watch to my girlfriend but I don't want to buy a Gear 2 because of the price and the ability to use custom roms.
I would like a smart watch something like the Smart Q ZWatch but with a speaker, I think that is kind of important, cause I actualy use my speaker a lot in my Gear 2.
I kinda liked the U8 smart watch, but I heard some bad reviews about the messaging that is would change the contacts name...
To sum up, a smart watch with:
Android OS
Ability to use custom ROMs (optional)
No GSM slot (I don't need GSM, I have my phone to do that)
Pedometer, music, and stuff like that
Speaker and Mic
Bluetooth to sync with the smartphone (just like the gear 1 and 2)
Sorry if I have so many requirements XP
What is the smart watch you would recomend me? The best price possible please, under 100$ if possible
Thank you,
best97
I think , best choice is SmartqQ... Why do you want speakers? Is useless in an smartwatch... For this you have your smartqphone with much better quality sound and volumen..
Avoid the SmartQ

I have one. Back case broke.. they wouldn't replace it. Poor customer service..
Notifications stopped working... SMS notifications still work. but now no push notifications.
No customer service answer.
Sorry I wasted my money on this smartq z watch.... live and learn.
Hahahaj you have to be the only one...
Maybe you are right but if you read on internet rest of chinese smartwatches people say SmartQ is, in quality and price, the best choice... I'm happy with it and even I have an Iphone...
HI!!! I am in the US and would like to have an android watch that has android apps & health apps I suppose.
I don't want to have my samsung note 8 in hand all the time & it would be easier to have and respond to some notifications when the phone is away somewhere.
Oh & I am a female .
Can someone guide me please
thanks all!
Anyone?
what is slick & girly with good apps?
I would personally say a fossil watch but I would hold off until theres a more recent up-to-date non sport's watch from fossil with a Snapdragon wear 3100 chip because the old chips arnt good enough for everyday use anymore. Wear os isn't in the best position right now so I would hold off and shop around . Apps are down to you as you need to choose them from the play store they don't magically come with the watch .
is there one in the works?
Samsung Galaxy Watch Active. Nice for a girl, 40mm case.
