Google Launches A Media Streaming Device

By TechTaffy Desk

[Techtaffy Newsdesk]

Google has launched a social streaming media player. The Nexus Q can stream movies from Google Play or YouTube to high-definition TVs or sound systems. You can also choose a song from the Google Play Music app on your phone or tablet and play it instantly on Nexus Q. A Music Manager uploads your iTunes or Windows Media Player library to Google Play so that your collection is available anywhere, anytime.

Nexus Q has a state of the art, audiophile-grade amplifier built in so you can hook your speakers right up, or use an optical or HDMI cable to connect Nexus Q to your AV receiver or HDTV. You can also connect multiple Nexus Qs.

Take that Apple TV!
