Can it be rooted and turned into a full featured android device? If so, it might be worth it.

Hmm.. I’ll be interested in getting one when they make a flying version. A flying Nexus Q (or Pokemon ball if you prefer) that can be programmed to patrol and secure the perimeters around my house. And in addition, it can zap and disable any intruders. o.o

It’s too expensive for what it does. It should be $100, if that. For $100 you can get the
VIZIO CO-STAR – if it ever releases.

Like many other comments. Interested but not at $300.
If it dropped to $150 and if cash wasn’t so tight atm. Id probably throw this and a nexus 7 in my cart right away.

I would love a device with the Q’s functionality, at 1/4 or less the current cost. $299 is way too steep for this, in my opinion.

I think I’m with most ppl when saying, this thing really doesn’t do any more than what I get for free already. If its connecting to my wifi, then why cant I just use the browser on my device to do the same thing? an xbox does the same thing plus gives me a gaming system for the same price if not cheaper. why do I want this?

I’m with Mickey on this. I’m interested in this but not at a tablet price. For $300 I’d be getting a big SSD for my laptop.

Sounds interesting. But I’ve already got a Sonos running my sound

As long as ISPs and wireless providers continue to impost data caps, I’m finding it increasingly difficult to get behind these multimedia cloud services. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to have everything in the cloud, but for now, I’d say 90% of my media is stored and used locally.

MONOPRICE !!! WOoo Hooo. I like to go into BestBuy and yell out MONOPRICE, while I stand near the $99.00 HDMI cables.
Then Best Buy Security throws me out.

If they could sell a version without the amp for 150-200 I’d be in. It would still be more expensive than other media streamers but it is also more powerful and could be capable of other things in the future. I also have to admit that the hardware is slick looking. But it sucks we have to pay for an amp when I’d never hook speakers up directly to this.
