Wall Street Journal: Android TV applications will be released on Google I/O

According to Gu AO, Google plans to present its Android-based TV software to more than May 19 developers at the Google I/O conference in 3000.
The technology aims to enable set-top boxes, TVs, and other devices to access content from the Internet. It has attracted partners such as Sony, Intel, and Logitech who will provide product support for the software. Internet giants want developers to compete for their TV platforms, in the same way that Apple attracts developers through smartphones.

The form of app stores has begun to attract a large number of developers, and the TV market is no exception. TV, Blu-ray players and other hardware will be able to connect to the Internet.

But before developers develop Google's TV applications, they have to see with their own eyes how much software the hardware manufacturer can offer. Intel has been trying to make a difference on a set-top box over the past few years, but has been working on low-end laptops-the atom chip used in netbooks.

People familiar with this said Sony also agreed to use a new atom chip developed for television and set-top boxes, and many companies' product roadmap includes Android-based products, sony will not exclusively own this technology. Bloomberg also reported on Wednesday that Sony plans to announce the use of Google software and Intel hardware at the Google I/O conference.

At the same time, Google is also testing the TV search service with Dish Network, which uses Google technology to allow users to browse and search TV programs and Dish Network programs on the Internet. This test was launched last year. Currently, only a few people in Google know about the test.
