Google Chromecast and Chromecast Audio Review: the future is now

Posted on October 18, 2015 by Joe Levi

In June of 2012 at Google I/O, Google’s developer conference, the company announced an all new product category designed to be conduit between your smartphone or tablet and your media. The product Google used to launch this category was called the “Nexus Q” and was offered for sale for the steep price of US$299. At the time, the orb-shaped device was supposed to let users cast audio to their high-end speaker systems, and could allow people to create their own party soundtrack ...

Google’s acquisition of Nest could revitalize Android @Home

Posted on January 21, 2014 by Joe Levi

Google initially introduced us to Android @Home at Google I/O in 2011. Up to that point, Android was powering smartphones, tablets, and some set top boxes, but that was about it. With Android @Home, it seemed that Google wanted to make Android the one-stop-shop for home automation. Various home appliances and fixtures could tie into an open ecosystem, all of which would play nicely with products powered by Android. It was a marvelous vision of what the future could hold — and then it fizzled out. However, thanks to a recent acquisition, all hope may not be lost. Thought it may not be ...

Google developing Android smartwatch, game console, cheaper Nexus Q?

Posted on June 28, 2013 by Stephen Schenck

Rumors of a Google-made Android smartwatch have been around for months. Back in early 2013, we heard that Google might be working over the details of such a project, deciding whether or not it would move forward on it. Now, sources known to The Wall Street Journal report that Google’s gone ahead with development of the Android smartwatch, but that’s not the only way it’s branching Android out beyond smartphones and tablets. We’ve already seen

Google Play Movies gets a new look, while twisting the knife in the Nexus Q’s back

Posted on June 27, 2013 by Stephen Schenck

Google’s got a new version of its Google Play Movies & TV app out today, updating the program’s UI to match the card-based Now look that’s become the company’s recent design language. It also gets a new Watch Now feature to offer suggestions about what shows or films you might want to check out next – altogether, a solid little update. However, this release is getting some negative attention in certain circles, after the discovery that it breaks compatibility with last year’s Nexus Q. We know, we know – ...

FCC Docs May Hint at New Google Nexus Q

Posted on May 20, 2013 by admin

The Nexus Q is unquestionably the black sheep of the Nexus family to date (yes, more than any CDMA Galaxy Nexus). After making its debut last summer, the project quickly went off the rails and fizzled-out before it really had a chance. This year, we were wondering if Google might take a second stab at the idea of a home Android-based media playback system, but no Nexus Q made an appearance at Google I/O. In fact, when the new Google All Access music system debuted and it specifically didn’t support the Nexus Q – an Android built from ...

Posted on May 14, 2013 by admin

What will be announced at Google I/O 2013? That’s the question of the hour, especially for supporters and enthusiasts of Google’s wildly popular mobile platform. The developer conference is generally where Google unveils its latest groundbreaking products, where we were first introduced to the Nexus Q, Nexus 7, Project Glass and Jelly Bean last year. Skydivers jumped from a plane, BMX riders jumped over building gaps, and one crazed man ran down the side of a building, all to demo Glass to the world, and ...

Google I/O Is Coming, Here’s What To Expect

Posted on March 25, 2013 by Joe Levi

Google I/O 2013 is only a month or so away, so let’s jump right into our guesses and hopes for what we’ll see at Google’s biggest conference of the year. For those who may not know, Google I/O isn’t all about Android — Google covers a wide variety of technology and services, and tries to cover a lot of everything at the conference. This year we expect to hear more about Google+, Chrome, HTML5 improvements, APIs, Google TV, home automation, and yes, Android will be in there somewhere. Google Now At last year’s Google I/O we saw Google’s answer to ...
