NEW YORK, N.Y. – Google says it is delaying the Nexus Q, a home entertainment device that was supposed to come out in July.

To make up for the delay, Google Inc. is sending the gadget free to everyone who pre-ordered it.

Google is not saying when the Nexus Q will available. Google plans to sell it for $299 in the U.S.

The ball-shaped device is similar to Apple TV, a small box that can stream music and movies over Internet connections. But the Apple TV is only $99.
