the Nexus Q, you
are only able to tap into content on the Google Play Store and
YouTube. Hence,
you will only be able to play movies, music and TV shows bought
off the Google
Play Store. So no services like Netflix or Pandora can be used;
these
applications are ones that consumers have grown accustomed to
using.

Apple TV Can Do:

$99 but offers the equally vast amount of content through
iTunes, and the same

be its
function as a social media player, with friends being able to

Hooked with a 25
watt amp, it can serve as a good sound system, but will
consumers be willing to
shell out $299 just for this cool feature? For now, it seems
that only hardcore
Google fan boys will be drooling over the Nexus Q, and Apple TV
will more than
suffice for most users with its very reasonable $99 price tag.
