I am considering getting a Nexus 7, which would be my first tablet. I'm having a hard time justifying it since I never really use a computer outside of work and I own a Galaxy Nexus, which is essentially a smaller Nexus 7 with more capabilities. Yet I still want one.
I've decided that it would be very much worth it if I could use it as a media center hub for my apartment. Currently, I have no way of playing music throughout my apartment nor do I have the ability to watch the movies rented via google play on my flatscreen. I realize that a Nexus Q would solve this problem, but it was pulled from the play store and it was way too expensive anyway. I considered Google TV, but the bad reviews have me skeptical.
For those of you who own a Nexus 7 and work with the Android ecosystem, what setups do you have for streaming your google media stored in the cloud in your home? This has always been something Apple products have been good at and, frankly, I'm getting a bit jealous. Please let me know what options I have and how I can make the Nexus 7 a worthwhile purchase.
