OUYA > Nexus Q?

---

So with the recent intro of the OUYA, I'm wondering what would prevent it from getting hacked, running CM9, and essentially serving as a Nexus Q replacement with better specs for a cheaper price?

Maybe its lack of Android Beam, although if I understand Beam correctly, it uses Bluetooth so maybe a workaround could be created?

Thanks for any info, y'all.

The OUYA looks great on paper but until they actually go into production I wouldn't consider it an alternative.

If a Billion Dollar Company like Google can't create a media streaming device for 99$ why should some nonames on kickstarter be able to create it, together with controller and software?

OUYA is a nice idea, but that's it. It most likely will never be shipped.

I don't know if OUYA will outsource or not, but I know that for the Nexus Q, Google decided to keep production in the USA, which explains the high price tag.
