Sony HDTVs To Come With Google TV Interface

adeelarshad82 writes "Even though Google recently announced its own Google TV, seems like their partnership with Sony is going to make it obsolete. Google has partnered up with Sony to launch four HDTVs loaded with the Google TV interface, as well as a Google TV Blu-ray player. The company's Google TV products will be called Sony Internet TV. With the Google TV, Sony aims to provide a clean and easy way to browse the Web, watch TV, and run applications all on your HDTV. Google TV uses the true Chrome Web browser with Flash 10.1. Unfortunately though, at the moment it only has a handful of apps available but Sony said the OS will be updated in early 2011 to include the Android Market app with more options."

    I find it difficult to believe it's intentional, as it makes it difficult to quote someone.

    That would go hand in hand with the meta-moderation page ripping out both the quote and i tags, so when you quote someone, the quoted text appears that You are saying it, and thus you get modded whatever the parent post should be/is.

    The plot thickens...

    i predict google TV will be integrated into most TV's in the next 3-5 years which means every TV will soon ship with Flash

    no need to fire up the computer for the porn tube sites

    No worries. Jobs will follow with his release of iGoogleTV (err... ooops... I mean, iTV), without flash and with tight control over access to porn. By that time, the fanboys/girls will already have children of their own, be interested in protecting them (from exposure to Flash) and still look kool when having guests.
