      1Google TV Tour Highlights Sony TVs, Logitech Revue Box, Apps

      1

      by Clint Boulton

      2Why Google TV

      2

      Google explains why consumers would want to marry channel and Web surfing.

      3How to Access Google TV

      3

      Users must buy a Logitech Revue set-top box and connect it to their TV with an HDMI cable or buy a new Sony Internet TV, which will be unveiled with pricing next week.

      4Search

      4

      Google TV lets users search TV and apps seamlessly (without changing inputs) with a remote control. Just as users go to Google to search for content, users will type in what they want to watch.

      5Navigate the Web

      5

      Google TV lets users tired of channel surfing switch to surfing the Web from the big screen. The service supports Adobe Flash Player 10.1, so most Websites will render on Google TV.

      6Web Apps Bonanza

      6

      Google TV will come preloaded with apps from Netflix, Twitter, CNBC, Pandora, Napster, NBA Game Time and Amazon Video On Demand.

      7Developers

      7

      Developers will be able to write Google TV apps and offer them through the Android Market next year.

      8Change Channels with Your Phone

      8

      Don’t want to use your Logitech remote control to change the channel? Use your Android phone or Apple iPhone by speaking into it to manage your programming and Web apps. Users may also “fling” what they’re watching on their phone to their TV.

      9Google TV Customized

      9

      Users can customize the apps on their Google TV home screen, just as they would move their apps on their desktop, tablet or smartphone.

      10Switcheroo

      10

      Users can easily switch between the Chrome Web browser and TV channels, and even watch/control them at the same time. Google notes: “Check your fantasy football stats while watching the game, check your @replies on Twitter during American Idol, or purchase a product online right after you watch the ad.”

      11Recording from the Search Bar

      11

      Dish Network customers can also access recording and DVR functionality from the search bar.

      12Rock Out

      12

      Listen to music from your Web playlist on Google TV, using Pandora or Napster. It will be interesting to see how this dovetails with Google’s music efforts later this year or next.
