A number of major electronics companies plan to show off Google TV products at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Click through the photo gallery to see who they are and what is expected.
Google Inc.? and a group of electronics manufacturers plan to make a splash at next week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas with new versions of the television product it rolled out last year.
New Google TV-powered products are on tap at the show and in the coming year from Samsung Electronics, Sony, LG and Vizio.
Marvell Technology and MediaTek will show off how their chips are being used to power Google TV products.
Google TV launched a year ago, letting users search and access the Web through their TV but didn't sell well, with high prices and a complicated interface cited as reasons.
In a blog post previewing what is coming at CES, Mickey Kim of Google TV Partnerships said an update in October has helped shift momentum for the product: "Since launching the update, we?ve seen our activation rates more than double. New features and new apps are coming to the living room via Google TV almost every day."
Google Chairman Eric Schmidt last month predicted that most TVs will come with Google TV by the middle of this year.
While it ramps up its new attempt to invade living rooms around the country, many are waiting to see whether Apple Inc.? (NASDAQ:AAPL) will roll out this year, as well. Various reports have predicted that the Cupertino company will either introduce its own big-screen TVs or simply equip its iMac desktop computers with features from its existing Apple TV box.
The technology and devices that are unveiled at CES will undoubtedly play a big role in determining if that prediction comes true. ...
