thisistheverge: Made in the USA: Google’s Nexus Q is symbolic and significant Buried somewhat quietly in the noise of Google’s spate of announcements today was an interesting fact: the Nexus Q, Google’s new media streamer and first self-built consumer hardware, is being manufactured in the United States. In fact, Google didn’t talk about it on stage at all, but had stories in The New York Times and Wired timed with the announcement of the product. Google isn’t providing many details about the manufacture of the devices, which isn’t surprising, but we do know they’re being made in San Jose, California. The price for a “made in the USA” streamer? $300.

    Why are manufacturing jobs not in the US? This is why. A $300 media streamer. Move on. Make new jobs here. Not old ones.

    Made right here in the Bay Area/Silicon Valley! That’s probably why this product costs more than what a lot of us expect...

    This might explain why it’s...little bit more expensive
