The Internet Search Giant Google has joined forces with Intel and Sony to launch a TV platform based on its Android operating system.

This project simply known has “Google TV “has been ongoing for months according to the New York Times.

According to the report Google has built a prototype set-top box, but the technology maybe incorporated directly into Television sets or other devices.

A version of Google Chrome browser will provide the interface that will allow internet search and downloadable web applications.

Intel atom chips are run on the Android platform.

Google has already started testing the new service with a US satellite TV company called Dish Network Corporation and hopes to link this service with its TV ad-brokering business.

Google TV ads currently run on some satellite TVs and small cable TV systems.

Google really is set to take over all forms of media…………. Is this possible?

My fingers are crossed as I wait for the commercial launch of this product.
