Tripod or dedicated recording person (like my wife) shall be used in any future examples. Next time I will hold off posting nauseating videos :)

This was one I meant to delete, because I failed with wobbling all over, but it was found and picked up popularity before I could get to it.

As soon as I can, I plan to try to cook something for the Q. I am caught up with the Jelly Bean AOSP coming out, I have my HTC Doubleshot device to maintain for CyanogenMod :)

I was going to delete this video and do it again, my own shakiness in the recording makes me dizzy.

Today I pushed a compiled CIFS module (which I compiled from my couch on the Q via ssh on my build machine), and was streaming 1080p mkv videos across wifi 5ghz.

I really enjoy the Q, even if using unconventionally.

Any tutorials available by chance? ;) thanks for your awesome work and for posting the video.

can you play games on it ?

[MARK SMITH]

So can you do this with a Nexus 7 or Galaxy Nexus

There is no way to control the Q from a phone ?

Mm my original motorola xoom hdmi to 1080p tv android keyboard & mouse = full functionality why even bother with a q if it needs a dam good rooting to make it worth using imo hey if Google give them away why not ive got a basket ball hoop on the drive!

[Brahim Ruño]

Any news about further development for this?

[Luke Chalfant]

It just really makes you wonder why Google didn't add more functionality to this. It's got the specs of a Galaxy Nexus... But, out of the box, it's locked down to so few features. As this shows, it doesn't take much to really expand the uses of the Q. So why the hell didn't they?

You should use the Tablet UI

[tonygstring]

Dude, yes.
