With one update the Q could get updated to be a Google TV and/or support all the Android games in the Play Store.



Except a GoogleTV has a remote and an HDMI pass through for video. So it could be a crippled GoogleTV.

Alternatively Vizio now has a small $100 GoogleTV box. With one update it should be able to do what this does but a third of the price (and it comes with OnLive for gaming)

Every Android phone and tablet (2.3+) is a Q remote. Google TVs take different forms from integrated TVs, to buddy boxes, to complete solutions. It would be a GTV with different ports and and as a consumer you should buy what fits your needs.


Not yet! Jellybean only, I think.


Ya. It is JB only but the Q hasn't officially launched yet. All the marketing material says 2.3+ and I expect that will be accurate in a coulpe weeks.
