Jason Kincaid of TechCrunch writes: "For the last couple months (and even before that), rumors have been swirling about a web-enabled Google TV project. Numerous reports have stated that the project will be launching this week at I/O, with the LA Times reporting that it will be called ‘Smart TV’, and that Google will be joined by Sony, Intel, and Logitech as it announces the new platform. Now, we’ve come across evidence that all but seals the deal.
Google has set up an I/O press site for reporters like myself, giving us a concise overview of what has been announced so far along with screenshots and other supplementary material. One page, which contains all of the announcements from Day 1 of I/O, has a URL fittingly ending with “day-1-announcements”. Being the mastermind that I am, I took it upon myself to switch the 1 to a 2, which led me to a nearly identical site that was devoid of content, save for a few key words:"
I wonder what the Google TV will be like. Hopefully a good free alternative with lots of support for IPTV. YouTube integration and the ability to run Android apps on your TV would also be very nice. Apple TV lookout - there could be some close competition soon!
