Google TV still revolves around the same introductory concept . It is not meant as a line replacement , nor is it really meant to be a standalone box . It works well running on top of your existing overseas telegram hardware , serving up vane vids along the mode . That said , Google ’s increased focussing on delivering actual streaming TV and Movie mental object through apps looks exciting .
Apps
The most immediate affair Google television set drug user will likely detect with the upgrade is the handiness of apps . Yes , this mean that more video services in the vein of Netflix will track down natively on your Google TV . It intend euphony services like Pandora will do the same . finally , Google hopes to have a bass library of TV - optimize apps that make the Logitech and Sony boxes more functional . For now , there will only be 20 or so apps that have right solvent and formatting , but it ’s possible to pass most Android apps on Google TV if you really want to . And if you ’re worried about figuring out which apps are design for Google TV and which ones are n’t , Google says that there will be a segment of the Android marketplace which corrals all the GTV apps into one lean .
Android Honeycomb
Google TV runs the Honeycomb variation of Android , which was to begin with designed for tablets . Google opted for Honeycomb over Ice Cream Sandwich because UI issues are less of a care give the more controlled approach Google takes with the TV platform and Honeycomb is more struggle try than its frozen counterpart . But Google ’s Chris Dale expects that Google TV will go on Ice Cream Sandwich someday .
Discovery
Google realizes that the first iteration of Google TV did n’t provide the most meaningful search result for idiot box and moving picture and videos . So this time around , when you search for something specifically — say a idiot box show — it will not only say you when it ’s coming on television next , but also every other service and site it is available on . But one footstep further , Google has stick in a newfangled portal vein called TV and Movies which focuses searches exclusively down to full idiot box episodes and full film . It is working with blue-ribbon partner now , such as HBO , and plans to work with more . The portal is open to any video cyclosis service that want to make their capacity database uncommitted . The vantage ( and visual sensation ) here is that everything is portray in a single , consistent interface , and you wo n’t have to found a multiple apps to access subject matter from multiple service .
YouTube
YouTube , and web video in oecumenical , are n’t incisively animation - room friendly . Google TV ’s steward say they ’ve retooled YouTube to render a serious 10 - foot - experience . Before , if you watched a video clip , it would cease and force you to actively load another television . In the new Google TV , another related video recording will automatically begin fiddle when the previous video destination . It will keep to do so until you actively sail to another TV . serve such as Hulu have used this concept to success , and it ’s nice to see Google doing the same , specially with all the rumour swiriling around .
Google enounce that the Google TV 2.0 update will first hit compatible Sony gadget on October 30 , and that the update for the Logitech Revue will follow “ shortly after . ” Will the Google tv set update cure all that ails the platform ? That remain to be watch . But it ’s evident that Google has listened to the gripes of those using Google television devices and have at least made an campaign to improve it . [ Google ]
