Chris’ Google Nest Hub tuned to AWR Wavescan’s Internet stream<\/p><\/div>\n

Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Chris Freitas, who writes:<\/p>\n

I wanted to let you know that Google has been doing a sale on some of their devices.<\/p>\n

The Google Home Mini is on sale for $25 right now. Also the Google Nest Hub, basically a tablet slab on a speaker, is also on sale too for $79. It has much of the same functionality as the Mini but you can also cast video to it.<\/p>\n

The link to the Nest Hub is https:\/\/store.google.com\/product\/google_nest_hub<\/a>. The link to the Home Mini https:\/\/store.google.com\/product\/google_home_mini<\/a>. You can also find this sale thru many retailers like Target, Best Buy, Walmart, and Home Depot.<\/p>\n

I impulse bought the Nest Hub and it is a pretty awesome tool in the kitchen\/living room of my apartment. I am going to put it thru some tests but it works well with streaming media.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks for the tip, Chris!<\/p>\n

So I’ll confess that I, too, just grabbed one of the Nest Hub devices. Your photo sold it, with the image of AWR Wavescan! (Enabler!)<\/p>\n

I like the idea of a touch screen device that can also accept voice commands. That might make for a very usable and adaptable WiFi radio.<\/p>\n

Of course, there’s the creepiness factor of any voice command personal assistant devices, but then again any smart phone has all of the same functionality.<\/p>\n

I’ll certainly post a short review noting how well the Nest Hub might perform as an Internet\/WiFi radio device.<\/p>\n

Anyone else using the Nest Hub as a WiFi radio?\u00a0 Please comment!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
