[NOTICE] Nexus Q will NOT be supported by AOSP!

---

Just asked JBQ via twitter:



So I ask, what is the point of even running Android on this thing? We can't change the OS from source, so why did Google even bother? Seems like they just want to make it fail...

Well birdman got cwm working sooo....

I think it is definitely too soon to say for sure the AOSP will not support the Q. Only a hand full have been released. There is also the fact that JBQ probably knows as many tech specs about the device as we do. The first step would probably to get in contact with someone on the team who built it. Keep in mind that for a long time the XOOM wasn't supported in AOSP but it is now. Let's wait a bit and see what happens.

AOSP is possible. All the Q needs is some Jellybean, which it's being updated to. It's on Android 4.0.4, but will gain Youtube, Gmail, and other GAPP's soon. The CM Dev for my phone hacked his Q, and had it running like a desktop. Chrome, and a Wireless KB/Mouse via USSB dongle. The Q is a very capable device, but what? I not really sure? As far as I see, it can be a nice PC replacement. But just basic computing. Nothing more. Internet, Facebook, Gmail, Netflix, etc.

If that is true then I can definitely see this being hooked up to TVs in living rooms for use, and then I might consider in the future getting one in the foreseeable future.

While the Q looks very sleek and sexy, $299 is a hefty price for such a basic computing device. Remember: the Raspberry Pi costs only $35 (plus SD card, Plus PSU, plus case) and it can do full 1080p playback as well.

A Raspberry Pi as an alternative to the Nexus Q: that is my plan, though for now not very detailed, but at least existing in my brain as a somewhat raw structure... I will keep you updated!

I myself pre-ordered one (should ship in august). This will definatelly be a nice toy and I think it could be made to do all things the Nexus Q does. I paid 45,23€ for the device including a case as I have an 8GB SD Card and a Blackberry charger lying around anyways. Admittedly, compared to the Nexus Q it's not even nearly as nice looking, but it's a lot cheaper and has the possibility of doing everything the Q does, plus more.
