According to an anonymous Google employee cited within a report on The Information (subscription required), developers at Google are prepping a new set-top box, possibly called Nexus TV, that’s powered by Android. According to the report, the device will play streaming video applications such as YouTube, Netflix and Hulu Plus as well as run a selection of video games.
This information is fairly identical to a report released by the Wall Street Journal several months ago mentioning that Google was working on a set-top box for the living room that included a video camera and motion controller. One of the most interesting features on the device was the ability to run Google Hangouts, potentially an inexpensive way for small and large businesses to video conference easily and allowing families to communicate over long distances with video chat.
