Nexus Q hacked to run Android games in under 24 hours

Less than 24 hours after its release, Google’s new Nexus Q media player has already been hacked to run — but not play — Android games.

The $299 Nexus Q possesses all of the internals it needs to run applications, including a dual-core OMAP4460 processor — the same processor packed into the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, a PowerVR SGX540 graphics processing unit, and 1GB of RAM. It also has a microUSB port, which means developers can plug it straight into their computers and tinker with it.
