Google, along with partners Sony and Intel, will soon be bringing web browsing and web applications to a TV near you. And with the Google Chrome web browser, which will be included in the package, comes Flash–and Hulu, YouTube and Netflix.
A New York Times article mentions that the three companies are working with Logitech, who will design and build keyboard-equipped remote controls. Devices with the Google TV software may begin shipping in the first half of this year.
Google is reported to be making this a fully open-source project, and uses the Android OS. Google TV can be installed in any set-top box, television, game system or Blu-ray player, opening it to many players in the electronics industry.
