Here’s an excerpt from an interesting post from digital media veteran Robert Tercek (current President of Digital Media for the Oprah Winfrey Network) on the joint efforts of Google, Intel and Sony to bring to market Internet enabled TV sets: “Lately, speculation about the future of television has been dominated by news of 3D TV sets. But another aspect of television has been quietly evolving with less fanfare: TV sets that connect directly to the Internet. This trend is potentially much more disruptive than the introduction of 3D displays.
Now a secret joint effort by Google, Intel and Sony to enter this field in partnership has been revealed. It will bring Google’s Android operating system and Chrome browser to TVs and set top boxes.”
