Google may be working on a revamped Nexus Q

Google appears to be working on a sequel to its ill-fated Nexus Q streaming device. The Nexus Q debuted at last year's I/O Developers Conference with limited capabilities and a premium price tag that eventually led to Google postponing the project. But a recent filing with the Federal Communications Commission has revealed a mysterious Google-built device that "functions as a media player" and could be a revamped Q. Little is known about the device, although it is equipped with support for 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and was connected to a Dell 24-inch monitor for testing, giving further evidence that it is a potential Nexus Q sucessor. The device is known as the "H840 device" and features the model number H2G2-42, a reference to Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
