The launch of Google TV is drawing closer as Google has just announced new content deals and unveiled a new consumer website. The website, http://www.google.com/tv/, explains the concept and how it works. Google TV will combine elements of TV, the Internet and smartphones, using a souped-up version of Google's open-source Android operating system.
On screen, users will experience an interface that combines TV programming, webs searches and apps. There's a tie-in with Dish Network that allows DVR functionality to the service. And Android-powered phones will serve as the remote. Other services that integrate TV and the Internet have more limited options, but Google claims that users will have access to all websites, making this the most ambitious effort yet. The launch of the service is imminent, and we look forward to seeing what it can do.
