Ten years to the day after its introduction at I\/O 2012<\/a>, the $299 media player positioned as a \u201csocial streaming device\u201d remains a unique debacle in Google\u2019s hardware story. Say what you will about Google Glass, but the company\u2019s first foray into wearable tech at least got people talking. The Nexus Q, in contrast, was an example of what can happen when a company becomes very lost in its own walled garden. <\/p>\n There were promising aspects to the Q; in hindsight, you can clearly see the groundwork and early DNA of Google\u2019s Chromecast<\/a> within it. But everything about the execution was fundamentally shortsighted \u2014 and a little weird. In the below promo video that Google released on the day it announced the Nexus Q, someone describes the product as \u201cthis living alien object.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s something inside it. It wants to get out.\u201d Totally normal stuff. Sixty seconds into the video, you\u2019ve still got no clue what this thing is or what the hell it even does. Eventually, we learn that the Nexus Q is \u201ca small, Android-powered computer\u201d that can play music or videos from the cloud. <\/p>\n
