Previous Google Nexus Q Preorders are getting it for free

This is more of just a heads up, anyone who preordered the Google Nexus Q will be getting it for free.

Link [engadget.com]

"We are sending a free Nexus Q to any users who pre-ordered the device at no cost to them."

Looks like they are postponing the release of the Nexus Q for improvements.
Now I wish I would of preordered one, but $300 was a lot to swallow for it.

The full e-mail reads:

Quote :

We have an important update about your Nexus Q pre-order.When we announced Nexus Q at Google I/O, we gave away devices to attendees for an early preview. The industrial design and hardware were met with great enthusiasm. We also heard initial feedback from users that they want Nexus Q to do even more than it does today. In response, we have decided to postpone the consumer launch of Nexus Q while we work on making it even better.To thank you for your early interest, we’d like to extend the Nexus Q preview to our pre-order customers and send you a free device. If you had other items in your order, your credit card will be charged for those items only.Your Nexus Q will be on its way soon and you will receive a notification and tracking number from Google Play when it ships.The Nexus Q Team

Hope this helps,
Tofu Vic

Now as far as streaming content from Nexus 7, it only output videos and music and media stuff right? Can I do screen-clone output with the Q? With the Nexus 7 running emulators so well, I'd love to be able to take it around for big screen gaming.

I bet 1000 people or less must have preordered it, most of them are developers, and sending it to them for free gets them to do some beta-testing for free Wink

Thanks for bringing us all back to Earth with that intelligent hypothesis!

For a minute there, I was scrambling trying to find the keys to my time machine! You've got to be 100% right. How else could they afford to do something like that, and at a time that the market if flooded with tablet's, they're making themselves look good and at the same time, get people talking about their new device.

So no netflix which is a deal breaker. I do have an android phone and all my music on Google Music.
