Peste cateva luni, in SUA,va fi lansat Google tv.,o inovatie revolutionara care va permite utilizatorilor sa vada filme pe Youtube pe ecranul televizorului si sa intre pe Facebook.
Pana in prezent au existat doar realizari limitate in incercarea de a face fuziunea intre televiziune si internet.
Acum, Google, impreuna cu companiile Sony, Logitech si Intel, au gasit, in sfarsit solutia,iar aceasta se numeste Google TV.
Reusita a fost deja numita „cea mai mare inovatie in televiziune, de la inventarea televizorului color”.
Livrat impreuna cu o telecomanda speciala si o tastatura wireless, Google TV va permite utilizatorilor sa vizioneze filme transmise de retelele de televiziune si sa navigheze pe net folosind unul si acelasi ecran si sa treaca de la o activitate la alta printr-o simpla apasare pe butonul telecomenzii.
‘Biggest upgrade since colour’: Google unveils the TV that also lets you surf the net
A television that allows users to switch between watching films and surfing the net has been unveiled by Google.
The innovation has been called ‘the biggest improvement to television since colour’.
GoogleTV will allow customers to access Facebook and watch films on YouTube in the comfort of their living rooms.
Competitors have had limited success trying to merge the internet and TV in the past.
But Google, together with Sony and electronics firms Logitech and Intel, seem to have cracked it, creating ‘companion boxes’ and remote controllers that allow users to switch between the two at the flick of a switch. A special wireless keyboard will also be provided.
Consumers with HDTV sets will be able to plug into the technology simply by buying a set-top box.
The TV is expected to go on sale in the U.S. this autumn before arriving in Britain next year. The price has not yet been fixed.
The search engine company demonstrated the software at a conference in San Francisco in front of thousands of software developers.
At a press conference after the launch, Sir Howard Stringer, chief executive of Sony, said that Google TV was ‘a very big deal’.

Intel CEO Paul Otellini predicted the effort will be ‘the biggest improvement to television since colour’.
Google project senior product manager Rishi Chandra said: ‘Video should be consumed on the biggest, best and brightest screen in the house. And that’s a TV. It’s not a PC or a phone or anything else in between.
‘Our goal is to make the same impact on television as the smart phone has had on the mobile phone market.’
Research into consumer habits shows increasing numbers of people go online while watching TV but companies have as of yet failed to enable people easily to do both at once using one screen.
Competitors Apple and Yahoo! have both tried but without much success. Some TVs on the market currently offer access to the internet through set-top boxes via cable or satellite – but with a limited choice of sites.
Yahoo!’s Connected TV platform allows access to certain websites such as eBay and Facebook but it has not broken into the mainstream.
