Leaked Google TV Streamer photos show a device nothing like the Chromecast

The upcoming Google TV streaming device has a table-top design instead of the Chromecast's dongle form factor.

The photos show the remote will have back, home, voice control, volume, mute, YouTube, Netflix, and Magic buttons. The company may be opting for a larger size to house more powerful components that a dongle's smaller profile doesn't allow, like better performance, more storage, and smart home capabilities. The new form factor may also be part of a marketing scheme for Google to align its streaming product to its overall hardware aesthetic.
