Editor’s note: This article was first published in November 2010, and the news it reports was current then. The original Google TV platform was discontinued and replaced by Android TV in 2014; the Google TV name was later reused for a different product.
In a previous article, back in September, we covered the news about Google TV and the new revolution in the merging of the internet and television. In the United States, trials have already begun on TV sets that Google itself is giving away. In other countries, practically everything is ready to go; in fact, you can already see Google TV online.
On the Google.com/tv website you can already start to see its features and use its services. We can tell you in advance that the remote control will be a phone running Android, and the browser, of course, will be Google Chrome.
Of course, you will also be able to connect to all kinds of social networks, Amazon and thousands of other services that, until now, could only be accessed from a PC or a mobile device.
Technology keeps moving forward incredibly fast, to the point that, although most people had not yet finished getting to grips with the many useful services available online, they are now going to find that technology built into their living room.
