Google Strickes Back With Its TV
The search engine giant, Google, plans next month to unveil a new software package to help developers better display the internet on TV sets, according to the Wall Street Journal, which quotes unnamed sources familiar with the announcement.
Google TV, an android-based software platform, has drawn interest from TV makers, the Journal says.
Google is expected to break the news at the Google’s I/O conference, which will be held May 19 and 20 in San Francisco, California, the newspaper reports.
At the conference, Sony also will announce a TV that runs an Intel chip and Google’s software, Bloomberg reports.
A number of companies are developing apps, or software programs, that format the Web for optimal viewing on TV sets. Some are creating hardware to help with the transition, too.
