Google showed off a lot while we couldn't post. One is the nexus q, a media ball basically. At 300 it is pricey as hell, but sleek, and made in the USA. No seriously, that's part of the price reason, not made in China.

The Galaxy nexus dropped in price officially too. Now it is 350 new from Google. For a 7 month phone, that is amazingly good, especially as it will run jelly bean soon, the latest Android edition.

It's smoother, faster, has better voice search, picture management, and Google now, a new feature, is your one stop app for realizing how much Google knows about everything around us. No seriously, it can tell you how long it takes you to go to the gym, whether your plane is delayed, where to eat, what they serve, and what they are known for. It's crazy yet creepy.
There's the new tablet, the nexus 7. 200 bucks, quad core, bluetooth, 7", and a gig of ram. The bad? No micro sd slot and it's only 8gb internal at that price. 250 is for 16gb. Made by Asus and is basically the intended memot300 they had months ago. Looks good and already some hands on exist. Runs jelly bean. No back camera either but that's awkward with a tablet anyway. Oh yeah, the gpu in it is monstrous.

Google+ is also looking better and better, now with pictures being able to be simultaneously shared in events. Cool feature. Android is out of beta too for Android and will be part of what's in jelly bean by default. Missing anything? Oh yeah.

project glass. They are smart glasses. Talk, take video, pictures, all while wearing it on your face. Play pool, no word on when trajectory can be implanted yet. Or tennis. Or do as Google does for a tech demo: have a guy jump out a blimp to demo it. Yes, they at random showed this product for the first time by having someone skydive with them on live. So, so badass. It's entirely new tech, not for consumers yet. But wow. We are one step closer to watch dog being a realistic viewpoint.
