      OK, so it’s not a curtain, but media was anxious to peek at what was under the sheet at the Sony Internet TV event.

      3TV Set, Blu-ray Player and Remote

      3

      It turned out to be the 46-inch Sony Internet TV powered by Google TV, as well as the new Blu-ray player and remote control with QWERTY keyboard. Mike Abary, senior vice president of Sony’s Home Division (on left), and Bob Ishida, senior vice president and president of Home Entertainment Business Group, Sony, (on right), unveiled the new hardware.

      Once Abary and Ishida backed off, the TV was switched on and attendees were accorded a closer look at the machines, which are sleek and snazzy.

      Matt Seymour, senior product manager for Sony, gets ready to demonstrate Sony Internet TV with Google TV.

      6Man vs. Food

      Seymour likes the show “Man vs. Food” and has recorded a bunch of episodes. He picks one to watch, but then gets another idea after seeing the program’s profile on Katz’s Deli in New York.

      Seymour wants to learn more, so he switches to Dual View. Here, he has selected Katz’s to search in the Chrome browser, while watching “Man vs. Food” in the lower right-hand corner.

      Check out Katz’s on Wikipedia, with the show playing in the lower right.

      Then he tweets that he’s going to Katz’s—all done with the “Man vs. Food” program running below.
