[Android General] PcHack3r:
The news has spread like wildfire since yesterday The Wall Street Journal publish a press release stating that Google is developing a multimedia entertainment device that would play music and video streaming taking it to any part of the house.

The device in question is a kind of media player to be called Android Hub, and through it Google wants to step further in home entertainment.

Little is known so far, only allow streaming media playback, which have already sent some of these devices to their employees to begin to try, it will be Google's own brand and will be called Android Hub. From this we deduce further that, obviously, will Android. From here are all speculations.

Remember that Google already has a multimedia entertainment system, Google TV, so this release is striking enough, and he would go to cover something you already have in their hands, and now also on the rise since at CES 2012 will submit a lot of TVs and different brands with this system.

However there are still things to do here, and you can see the Android Hub as an evolution of Google TV, as it may not have been raised quite right from the start. Bring raises Android Google TV to television, either integrated directly in these or in an external media player such as the Logitech Revue, which so far with the Sony Bluray were the only ones allowed us to do this. One of the major strengths of Google TV can turn one of his biggest problems is that when we say that Android to a television, that's exactly what we do.

The problem here is that Android is not ready at all for that, and although the Market increasingly more applications have adapted to television, something goes wrong. Specifically, you lose the very essence of what most multimedia entertainment needs of the household: simplicity. Play a movie stored in a room in the living room TV using Google TV can take to become a real torment, and not exaggerating. We have different options and find us living with a good application, be lucky and hope that the DLNA in a good mood that day and let us do it for the poor streaming options out there for this or copy it to a hard drive or USB, physically take him and hope that the format is supported.

And this is the real problem with Google TV, which is not easy to use for things that really are worth it. I want that when a friend comes to my house and we apatezca watch a movie, series or play a disc, can turn on the appliance and provide a play, no one wants to copy a 10GB file to a hard disk, take it to the room and connect a USB cable. That is no longer carried, and in fact not necessary, because there are options to do well.

This need is precisely that which should cover Android Hub, to facilitate the life of the user with a method of advanced entertainment, to make things and do well. That's exactly what it claims today the home multimedia user. Android Hub allow streaming of any content, in a simple and easy, and then it would also be able to connect any Android device to the network, and see for example the pictures of our mobile TV, nothing but oddly enough is also an affair with Google TV.

I certainly feel like I have so many Android Hub reaches the market, and I'm sure if you can do it delights of device, what you think about it? What do you expect from this device?
