Google unveils Google TV with Intel, Sony

May 21, 2010 - PRLog -- Google Inc has announced the launch of Google TV, a new tool that will work with Intel Corp. chips in products by Sony Corp and Logitech International SA. Google TV serves as an “entertainment hub” that lets viewers search channels, recorded shows and websites. The service will also include video on demand products from Amazon.com Inc, Netflix Inc and Hulu.

The alliance will help the companies to benefit from the growing demand for Web-based programming and information on large screens: “Television is becoming the true third window, with the computer and the phone, allowing you to access what you want when you want it. The dumb tube is turning into an intelligent device, a smart TV” said Eric Kim, Head of Intel’s digital Home Division.

Rishi Chandra, Product Manager said: “There is still no better medium to reach a wider and broader audience than the television. Video should be consumed on the biggest and brightest screen in the house”.

Howard Stringer, Chairman, President and CEO of Sony Corp commented on the alliance: “The combination of Sony’s industry-leading product design, engineering and development expertise with the flexibility and growth potential of Google’s innovative, open-source Android platform will provide consumers with a world of new and exciting Internet user experiences. Through this alliance, Sony will deliver new levels of connectivity and Internet integration across our range of assets and product categories”.
