Google CEO Shows Off Google TV
Google’s CEO Eric Schmidt said the company has plans to roll out its own version of a web-based television service later this year to directly completely with Apple’s newly announced Apple TV. Schmidt said the Google service would be free and work with a variety of content creators and hardware manufacturers. It has been reported that Google is working with Sony and Intel to create this service.
Google TV is essentially an interface, blurring the distinctions between programming you get from your cable or satellite provider with search Googles bread-and-butter. It is set to launch on a Sony HDTV, a Sony Blu-ray player and a Logitech set-top box in the United States this fall (other countries to follow), each with its own incredible remote control. After tapping a search button, a single box appears for searching the web, live television programming, recorded shows, on-demand programming, pay TV, online video clips and more.
