Anyone remember the Nexus Q, the little orb Google announced at I/O this year? Well, it looks like Google is trying to forget it, as it has been pulled from the Nexus landing page amidst today’s new device announcements. What does this mean?

In true Nexus fashion, Google has released the system images for a bunch of Nexus devices. If you ever brick your phone, or just want to start over, these images will be there for you.

The Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G has not been much of a secret, but they took their sweet time to announce it. T-Mobile took the wraps off this device today, but did not give a release date or a price. That’s a bit unwise, it doesn’t build excitement or hype. Though this device doesn’t deserve much. It’s packing last generations Snapdragon S3 processor… Read more
Strangely, the Galaxy S Blaze Q didn’t launch on the 15th like expected. However, there has been a change to it since then (which could explain the delay, though the change is no physical one).

It was just yesterday that the Nexus Q had been in stock and shipping in 3-5 days. And a mere day later, it’s backordered and expected to ship in 2-3 weeks. I wonder what happened. Did it sell out to all those hackers wanting their own custom media device? Is it a problem on Google’s end? It’s hard to believe the $300 Q sold out in a day, but it’s not… Read more
The Nexus Q is in stock on the Google Play Store and ships in 3-5 business days for buyers. The Nexus Q is a social media player that lets all your friends play songs, along with other cool features.
