Google launches Google TV

Based on the Android operating system and the Google Chrome browser, thea Google TV platform combining the Internet and television will be available this fall in the United States. Google TV comes in the form of a box that connects to the internet (cable or WiFi) on one side and to a television on the other (HDMI). The box will have a keyboard and a "pointing tool," which remains a mystery at this stage. Of course, Flash 10.1 will be integrated.

This service will offer a wide range of features! Google for example indicated: “If you know what you want to see, but aren't sure where to find it, just type in what you're looking for and Google TV will help you find it on the web or on one of your many TV channels.”. You will also be able to use your Android phone as a remote control (adapted remote controls and keyboards will soon be available), you will be able to control your TV by voice, install all kinds of applications via a "Google TV Apps Market". Android applications will also be natively usable without having to change the code, benefit from real-time translation of your favorite shows and many other possibilities!
