No sd card slot, no removable battery and too big screen. Definitely not for me.

Here's some of the player info, cause you missed that out

Its remote control has a microphone that supports voice search, and there's an optional gaming controller available ($40). It also offers better tech specs than the more established boxes, namely a 1.8GHz Quad Core processor.

Connectivity is sparse. There's no analog video or optical digital audio output, just a single HDMI port, (no HDMI cable included). There's also no option to connect an Ethernet cable if you want--the Nexus Player is strictly Wi-Fi. There's also no USB port.
In addition to the physical remote, the box can also be controlled via a dedicated app, which will also accept voice search commands.

The Nexus Player also supports screen mirroring from a Chrome browser or Chromebook, allowing access to even more online video sources. We've had mixed luck with many sites using this feature with a Chromecast, however (below), including Amazon and Hulu (non-Plus). Compared to native or Cast-compatible apps, screen mirroring is a less is desirable way to get video onto the big screen.

Unlike the Chromecast, Android TV will feature a full onscreen interface and search capabilities. At first glance, the user interface looks much more straightforward than what was available on Google TV. Its blades of scrollable titles are similar to what's already onApple TV,Amazon Fire TV, orRoku.
There's also a neat feature that anticipates your viewing habits (like, say, the next episode of a TV series you've been watching) and brings that content right to the forefront.

im dead serious.. i couldnt just be asked.

In that case, glad I could be of assistance

Either way these look like good phones, shame about the no expandable memory and the price tag, cant justify moving away from my s4 just yet, its still runs smooth etc. Ill move to lollipop when cyanogen releases it for my phone

Funny the back button is a triangle, home is a circle and menu is a square.
Where is the cross?

Anyway, they seem good but too big for me.

My Nexus 5 is about the maximum size I can use comfortably as a phone. Anything over this is a bit too big for daily use.

Also the price points are interesting:
$649 for Nexus 6
$399 for Nexus 9
$99 for Nexus Player

So much for cheap Nexus Phones..

At some point I was considering maybe getting the next iteration of the Nexus phones, but I can't really say this new version interests me one bit so I'll probably just stick with my Moto G.

I don't like this technology trend. Everything's gearing towards the cloud and online services. No expandable memory for the phones or USB port for the player? I've got a 1TB drive full of videos (only half of which are porn) and you want me to use Netflix?

 

[Joe88]

at the price point the note 4 seems a much better value then the nexus 6 (removable battery, microsd slot, wacom digitizer, fingerprint sensor, ir blaster, and a bunch of other things)

Most of the people that want to use their own storage instead of cloud services are likely to be people capable of steaming their stuff from their PC.

Yup...it just HAD to be. After the 360- and Xbone controller, the ouya-controller, the wiiu pro controller, the controller from the MOJO console and the amazon fire controller ...anyone want to take a guess at how the google player controller looks like?

Spoiler

don't get me wrong: I don't mind that everyone and their mother clones each other's designs. But it sure is noticeable.

You can even say that apple is currently innovating by NOT releasing a game console.

 

[nxwing]

I just hope it will not bend just like the iPhone 6

 

[chrisrlink]

I hope Lolipop is not restricted to these new devices my Phone Optimus L90 currently runs Kitkat (rooted no custom rom)

Well shit, I might've grabbed a Nexus 6 if the price was good but fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that noise.
