We tried queueing up the Nexus Q with songs, but after staring at its flashy lights for awhile, we decided to do what we do best: tear the sucker down.

Google's glowing orb features:

16 GB internal flash memory

1 GB RAM

32 RGB perimeter and 1 RGB mute indicator LED

OMAP4460 (dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU and SGX540 graphics core)

Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich"

As an added bonus, we've identified (to the best of our ability) the country of origin of each integrated circuit we found throughout the teardown.
