Google Delays Nexus Q Launch, Pre-Orders Get It Free

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday July 31, 2012 @10:40AM from the now-you-wish-you-ordered-one dept.

MBCook writes "After a mixed reaction from the press, Google will be delaying the launch of the Nexus Q. People who pre-ordered will receive the current version of the device for free. '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.'"
