Google Tv In UK??

G

The exact form Google TV will take in the UK is relatively difficult to determine given the currently hazy hardware details. However, we do know something about the intricacies of the Google TV software and how exactly it will change your television.
Google TV essentially integrates applications and the internet directly into your television. It brings basic elements such as search or web browsing and goes as far as combining both web and TV simultaneously.
The most important element of Google TV is its search bar. Essentially it brings together all the information, programs, internet, and media surrounding whatever you search for. So programs currently or soon to be shown will appear alongside imdb or Google search results as well as any media or recordings you might have. The search bar negates the need for a TV guide as well and helps to enrich any programs you might be interested in by offering related websites and other online info.
Internet connected applications will also form a central part of Google TV. Much of what can be found on the Android operating system will be translated across to Google TV. Applications like Twitter and Amazon will be the first to appear on the hardware with the Android market eventually arriving on the platform early next year. Google also plans to make use of both the iPhone and Android powered handsets to act as a remote for Google TV. Voice search will allow you to use your mobile handsets microphone for input, creating search results by simply speaking into your phone.
A full web browser is also included in the Google TV package, meaning much of your surfing can be done on the television. The browser is Flash Player 10.1 compatible so video websites or slideshows on Flickr will be viewable. Television programs can be viewed simultaneously as picture-in-picture whenever the browser or applications are run.
