Google continues its series of introductory videos for new users looking to become acquainted with Android and the Nexus 7. Their latest video is a bit shorter than I would prefer but I guess the general idea is to show off a few of the awesome Google apps that come standard on the Nexus 7 (and most every other Android device).

Anyone remember Project Tungsten? It finally rounded off its corners and became what we now know as Nexus Q. The Nexus Q is the world’s first social streaming media player that allows you to become a media DJ when in the presence of the Q.

After a brief beta, Steam has made the ability to remotely manage your library of games as well as initiate a download via the web or mobile app a reality for all.

That’s where the Slingbox SOLO comes in.
