Mixed messages on Nexus Q support suggest Google doesn't know what to do with it, either

Yesterday there was some pretty damning news for owners of Google's Nexus Q musical orb: confirmation that the device isn't supported in the current version of the its Play Music app. This much is undoubtedly true, and verified by many owners. What is less clear, however, is whether this really is the end of the road. All the signals may be there, but some readers have forwarded us emails received from Google Play Support advising that a fix for Nexus Q streaming is definitely on the way. We contacted Google directly, but it was unable to give an official statement on the issue, simply highlighting that the developer product never made it to commercial release, and as such can't promise either way. Mountain View isn't shy about shuttering much-loved services, so Nexus Q owners might take a small amount of solace from this current ambiguity, at least enough to delay taking matters into their own hands.
