Google reportedly preparing to intro TV software next month
,----[ Quote ]
| Google's TV plans have yet to be officially
| confirmed, though they have been rumored for
| at least a month now. Consistent with the
| company's strategy in other areas, Google
| isn't expected to be involved in
| manufacturing set-top boxes; rather, the
| company is supposedly developing a version
| of Android that would be especially
| conducive to the big screen. Third-party
| developers would then be able to write their
| own apps for the devices, giving more
| openness and flexibility to people's TV
| watching habits.

Android in 2013: Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| Making up for that, in part, will be more
| high-profile open source applications on top
| of Android. One pundit complained recently
| that there were so few Android open source
| applications. There are actually a fair
| number of them, but pundits rarely can get
| past brand names. And, truth be told, there
| are few brand-name open source projects on
| Android today. That will change, in part due
| to Android's market presence (e.g.,
| Mozilla's Fennec will be reasonably popular
| by 2013) and in part due to changing
| technology (e.g., more brand name apps will
| be written in HTML5 and therefore will run
| on Android).

| report said that Google wanted to make it
| easy for people to search both TV content
