Google didn’t touch on it during its keynote, but The New York Times’ John Markoff has the story on one fairly unique feature of the Nexus Q home media device: the base of the unit proudly boasts that it’s “Designed and Manufactured in the U.S.A.” That includes an unnamed company in the Midwest that manufactures the metal base and another in Southern California that makes the case, while the device itself was reportedly being assembly just last week at a large factory 15 minutes away from Google’s HQ. According to Google, it hopes that people will be willing to pay more for the device as a result, but it has no plans to play up the “Made in the U.S.A.” angle in its marketing. Hit the source link below for the full look at how the device came to be.
