Like the idea of Google TV, with its Web browsing, applications, and powerful search, but don't want another box sitting around your TV? Then you'll love the new HDTVs that Sony unveiled at a press event in New York today. They incorporate the same Google TV functionality right in the TVs' electronics. Sony's new TVs, whose screen sizes range from 24 to 46 inches diagonally, can access content via broadcast, the Internet and applications, just as the Logitech Revue, unveiled last week, can. Sony also unveiled a Blu-ray player with Google TV features. At the event, Sony representatives argued that the appearance of the Google-powered TV sets marks a groundbreaking moment that will change the way the public watches TV. As technical achievements go, "this is a pretty big one," said Mike Abary, senior vice president of Sony's Home Division, who pointed out that the Sony units would be the only Google-powered TVs available this holiday shopping season. "TV and the Internet, together at last." http://www.pcworld.com/article/207643/s ... etv.html?tk=rss_news so it's basically trying to replace the appletv thing. but it's also funny that they were also using itunes |

I swear Google is out to take over the rest of the world, at least the financial part of it. They could potentially monopolize every fricken thing there is eventually. All they have to do is do whatever it is better than their competitor. In this case, if they can beat AppleTV, they got it in the bag. Personally, I think they should just stick to what they are good at. Search engines and advertisement.

Veeery interesting approach. Internal functionality is where it's at, and Apple won't make their own TVs. A big step in terms of potential market share for Google. On the other hand, I can't see this being as *successful* as Apple TV. Unfortunately due to the massive variety of hardware that Google TV could potentially be present on, the consistency of the experience would suffer greatly - as is the problem with Android. Google know how to push their products out to a maximum audience... but Apple know how to make theirs the most desirable. |

Google is Ultor Corporation. But yeah, cool. They're also opening a new green energy farm, or something like that. |
