Google has plans for another take on the set-top box new tech news site The Information reports-- the search giant is supposedly working on the "Nexus TV," an Android device able to stream video services and even play videogames.
Such a device will follow on the Chromecast as a fully-fledged STB (if with Nexus branding) and should hit the market as early as H1 2014 at an "aggressive" price, the anonymous source continues. No other details are available, other than it offering familiar video services such as Netflix, Hulu and YouTube.
The story reminds of a July 2013 Wall Street Journal story. Reportedly at CES 2013 Google showed off a "previously unreported" STB, with demonstrations led by former Google exec Andy Rubin. The device carried a camera and a motion sensor, and had the Hangouts videoconference service as a core feature together with YouTube, Google Play media and Android apps.
