Google Nexus Q unveiled

Google introduced the Nexus Q at the Google I/O 2012. This is actually big surprise and will get Google into the war for the living room fighting against Microsoft and Apple. Nexus Q combines the power of Android and Google Play to easily stream music and video in your home—all controlled by an Android phone or tablet.

Available first in the U.S., you can preorder Nexus Q today from Google Play for $299, and it will ship mid-July.
