I am exactly the person who should be excited about Google’s “social” media player: I have room in my life for a streaming media gizmo — right now I lean on my Xbox 360, but have always been Roku curious — I use an Android smartphone as my primary device and I’m always in the market for innovative gadgets. That, and it simply looks like a gadget you want to own. I was immediately taken with it. With its round body and bold LED stripe, it looks like a cannonball fired out of the world of Tron. Yet, painfully, I find myself the opposite of excited.
Make no mistake, the Nexus Q is one hot little piece of hardware. It does a lot of amazingly smart things. At the same time, a few key choices by Google effectively knocks the legs out from under Q, and put a wall up between user and device.
So, yes, that’s not a typo: here are the zero reasons why you should plunk your money down for the Nexus Q.
