It's the right move. I've used my Nexus Q for all of 20 minutes since I installed it. Without Netflix, without Hulu, without streaming from my desktop computer, it simply isn't useful. Yet it's the same cost as my much more capable Xbox 360 and three times the cost of an Apple TV or Airport Express (with its audio out port). Getting a piece of pure consumer electronics into the market is a big move for Google. Pausing to re-tool the software harms their credibility far, far less than launching an obvious dud. Shaking things up in the stagnant living room tech space can only be good news for consumers. So I want these guys to succeed. A nicely hackable piece of hardware is a fantastic counterpoint to Apple's polished but locked-down approach. But no wine before its time.
