Remember Google TV ? At least one entity does : Google , who just let us in on its architectural plan for 2012 . The computer software ishittingTVs from Samsung , Vizio , and LG .
This is a big break for Google TV , which was antecedently confined to the Logitech Revue , an enormousdud , a Sony Blu - re player , and one Sonyset . Luckily , those of you who care what GTV has going for it but do n’t want to be be roped in by a pitiful computer hardware selection will have choices later this year .
Logitech Abandons That Failed Clusterf*ck Known as Google TV
LG ’s Smart TV with Google TV ( roll off the clapper , no ? ) geminate its QWERTY distant with Google ’s computer software . And it ’s three-D , of course .
Vizio will show Google television receiver - powered “ products ” ( with an S ) at CES , so wait at least one TV and maybe a Google TV box . What ’ll bechance to their proprietary “ overbold TV ” apps ? plausibly the same thing as LG’s — they’ll continue to exist , either as a low - end oblation or a wholly separate crinkle , in vitrine Google TV bombs .
Samsung and Sony will also reveal “ devices ” next week .
What we see here is a cautious dipping of the toe into Google TV . The Revue and Sony ’s Google TV bombed , but GTV ’s a hell of a lotbetterthan it was when first introduced . It ’s improbable that any caller , whether Vizio or Samsung , will desert its proprietary TV app platter in party favor of Google ’s already , after spending so much time produce and encourage the smart goggle box vision of each . No matter how generally bum those visions have been .
Google TV 2.0 Update Now Rolling Out To Devices
But if this next wave of Google TV computer hardware take off , it ’d be every bit unlikely for each maker to stick with their own lackluster software instead of just signing on with Google .
At any rate , we ’ll see how the next effort goes when we go eyes - on with all these “ gadget ” in Vegas next week . I have a feeling they still wo n’t be enough to fulfill Eric Schmidt ’s plans of galacticdomination . [ Google TV ]
Eric Schmidt Insanely Claims Google TV Will Come with “ legal age ” of tv Next Year ( NO )
Update : LG ’s posted images of its GTV set ( above ) , which will incorporate both an Android - y and LG ’s own interface . I have a feeling the former will be superior .
