Google’s open-source Android and Chrome are captivating the leap from the minute screen to your home theatre in a large way.
The certified Google Blog Friday,20-May declared,
“That Google TV is indeed a reality, and will be coming to a wide range of devices this fall (hopefully in time for the new TV season!). The search behemoth describes the service as “TV meets the web, web meets TV” and has enlisted a host of hardware partners to make its television ambitions a reality.”
The Google blog disclosed,
“Google TV is a new experience for television that combines the TV that you already know with the freedom and power of the Internet. With Google Chrome built in, you can access all of your favorite websites and easily move between television and the web. This opens up your TV from a few hundred channels to millions of channels of entertainment across TV and the web. Your television is also no longer confined to show just video. With the entire Internet in your living room, your TV becomes more than a TV — it can be a photo slideshow viewer, a gaming console, a music player and much more.”
If this sounds recognizable, it is because a broad variety of companies has been demanding to create this dream come true, as well as our much-loved Apple, Inc. with their often-neglected Apple TV device. Google TV is constructed on the company’s presented Android and Google Chrome technology, and a Google TV SDK and supplementary web APIs will be launched to developers soon after the product releases; in the same time, developers are expectant to start optimizing their websites for the service today.
Google associates Sony and Logitech are on the plank to help take Google TV to televisions all over the place, as well as Blu-ray players and companion boxes. Google TV-enabled hardware devices will go on rummage sale this fall at Best Buy stores all over the country, and as a minimum one satellite supplier, Dish Network, is by now on the plank to offer the technology to its clients too. In the period in-between, you can sign up online to find more updates as they become accessible.
The actual question now is, how will Apple react to hitherto one more new threat from Google to one of their business replicas, still if the Apple TV is at rest thought just “a leisure pursuit”?
