Google has announced that they are launching their Google TV service here in the UK, and the first Google TV device to hit the UK will be Sony’s new Google TV device.
Sony will be offering their Sony NSZ-GS7 Google TV set top box here in the UK, the device was announced back in May and it will also go on sale in the US at the same time.
Starting today, Google TV devices will be available for pre-order in the U.K. and the U.S., from our partner Sony with its Internet Player with Google TV. Sony’s 2012 plans include bringing the Internet Player with Google TV to Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Mexico and Netherlands.
Features and Capabilities of Google TV
Google TV aims to revolutionize the way we consume media by integrating traditional television with the vast resources of the internet. For example, in the U.K. you’ll be able to pop live TV into the background while you read up on The Guardian’s website with Chrome, catch up on the latest episode of EastEnders on the BBC iPlayer, view Lauren Luke’s latest make-up tips on YouTube, and choose from the hundreds of apps optimized for TV in Google Play. This seamless integration allows users to multitask and customize their viewing experience like never before.
The Sony NSZ-GS7 Google TV set top box is designed to provide a comprehensive entertainment solution. It features a dual-sided remote with a touchpad on one side and a full QWERTY keyboard on the other, making it easy to navigate through content and search for your favorite shows or apps. Additionally, the device supports voice search, allowing users to simply speak into the remote to find what they are looking for.
Global Expansion and Future Prospects
Sony’s 2012 plans for the Internet Player with Google TV are ambitious, aiming to bring the device to multiple countries including Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Mexico, and the Netherlands. This global expansion indicates Google’s commitment to making their TV service a worldwide phenomenon. By tapping into these diverse markets, Google TV has the potential to change the way people around the globe interact with their televisions.
Moreover, the integration of Google Play into Google TV opens up a world of possibilities. Users can download and install a variety of apps specifically optimized for TV, ranging from streaming services like Netflix and Hulu to games and educational apps. This transforms the television from a passive entertainment device into an interactive hub for various activities.
