Google Tv  Meets Web

Google has finally made its foray from the small screen to the big screen

Google TV is an effort to finally bring the Web to the Tv set,It' certainely not a new idea,but till now web sites have never been designed with TV sets in mind,limiting the usefulness of such devices.

What Google wants to bring to the TV experience,is the power and flexibility of the web,but in a form factor that can really be enjoyed on TV screens.The aim is to make watching your TV a socialexperience,just like web videos.Nowdays we want to watch stuff which has a little more personal relevance,stuff that our friends like and post.

Google TV also brings the power of search to your TV set.With Google TV you can simply search for what you are looking for in the embedded browser,instead fo changing channels.

Google TV will be based on the open-source Android OS with the Google Chrome browser.Google will soon release a TV SDK for developing Android application designed for TV sets,and the Android Market shall hsot such application.Google is encouraging developers to start considering TVs as possible web interfaces for website as well.

Google is also embracing Adobe Flash in their Chrome browser for TVs and set tops,which will feature Adobe Flash player 10.1 with support for hardware accelerated Playback of video content on the web.

To bring this to realisation,Google ahs tied up with sony,which will be making TV sets and Blu-Ray players which include support for Google TV;and Logitech,which will release set-Top boxes for use with current TVs.

Television needed more than just a push up in the resolution of the content,but also the quality and relevance.Google TV Seems to be effort which gives it just the right Push.
