Google reportedly working on wireless home entertainment system to be sold under its own brand

[![][1] ][2]

Details are still fairly light at the moment, but _The Wall Street Journal_ is reporting today that Google could be about to make big push into the hardware business. Citing people briefed on the company's plans, the _WSJ_ says that Google is now developing a home entertainment system that would stream music wirelessly throughout the home (including to web-connected devices "Google-made speakers"), and be able to be controlled using a smartphone or tablet -- making it sound a lot like a Sonos competitor. What's more, unlike current Android and Google TV devices, this system will reportedly be marketed under Google's own brand.
