Google TV is a smart TV platform from Google that was co-created by Sony, Logitech, and Intel. It was first launched in October 2010 with android operating system and Google chrome browser to create interactive television overlay. Although the first generation smart televisions were created by hardware partners Sony and Logitech, the second generation devices had partnerships from LG, Samsung, HiSense, and Vizio. In 2013 even more hardware partners joint to make their Google TV.
The operating system present in the Google TV is called the Google TV operating system that has the Android version 3.2 i.e. honey comb embedded to it. This is been the operating system for the Google TV for past 3 years. However in the starting of year 2013 Google announced that Jelly Bean operating system may be provided for the Google TV that are manufactured by L.G. Nevertheless, this announcement seemed untrue while this update of new operating system to the Google TV got shelved. Now recently Google has announced again that the Google TV will now be present with Android version 4.2 operating system i.e. the Jelly Bean. While LG has confirmed the news stating that the forthcoming LG Google Smart TV will be having the Jelly Bean Operating System.
The update of Jelly Bean OS to the Google TV is mainly to support developers who will be now able to port the apps which are present in Android phones, phablets, and tablets to the TV. Thus the Google’s Smart TV will indeed become very smart true to its name. The Google chrome will also be updated because such that it won’t be requiring a flash anymore.
The major advantage is that the Google TV will have options for more apps and more games that can be played on the television with the control of magic remote. The downside however is that the conventional chrome browser is removed and an out and out Android based browser is provided which won’t support flash instead supports the HTML 5 option.
The update of the original android version 3.2 operating system honey comb to the latest android version 4.2.2 jelly bean is not the only change that the Google TV users are going to face. Google has decided to change the name of the TV from Google TV to something more relevant to Android such as Android TV or something similar to that. Thus the whole web based interface (flash based Google chrome browser and the name Google TV) will be ridden completely.
The whole concept of Google TV will get a fresh look with more efficient apps and effective connectivity and sync between the Android phone, tablets or phablets and the Google TV. Additionally even the name of the TV will get a new branding.
On a nutshell the Google Android TV is going to have a new reincarnation this October thus making television viewing a better, enhanced and never before experience. This is indeed good news to all the users who had been interested in buying the Google’s smart television.
