Default Google TV

Google is stepping it up yet again. Gonna buy me some more stocks in google and get dis b*tch, lol. You can get the TV preloaded with Google TV or the blueray player to get Google TV to your current HDTV

http://www.google.com/tv/


<span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%">Search your television</span>

Type in what you want to watch, and we'll find it for you. Google TV lets you seamlessly search all of the content on your TV, the web, and
apps – then access it with a single click. You can also easily switch between TV and the web without having to change inputs on your
television.


<span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%">The web is now a channel </span>

With Google Chrome and Adobe Flash Player 10.1, Google TV lets you access everything on the web. Watch your favorite web videos, view
photos, play games, check fantasy scores, chat with friends, and do everything else you're accustomed to doing online. Plus, the world's
best websites are now being perfected for television -- check out our Spotlight gallery for examples.





<span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%">A new world of apps for your TV </span>

Google TV will come pre-loaded with apps like Netflix, Twitter, CNBC, Pandora, Napster, NBA Game Time, Amazon Video On Demand and Gallery. Starting early next year, apps from Android Market will work on Google TV as well.





<span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%">Your phone = remote control </span>

Your Android phone or iPhone can be used to control your Google TV in place of a remote control. Use your voice to search, and even use
multiple phones to control the same TV. No more fighting over the remote!



<span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%">Fling a video to your television</span>

Find a great website on your phone and want to show it to everyone? Now you can. "Fling" what you're watching, listening to, or doing on your phone by sending it to your TV with the press of a button.



<span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%">Watch it now </span>

Never miss a show again. With Google TV, you can access over 40,000 shows and movies whenever you want with Netflix ($8.99 a month) or Amazon Video On Demand (shows start at 99 cents!).





<span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%">YouTube perfected for TV </span>

YouTube is great on the web, but it's even better on television. With YouTube Leanback, you can watch videos without ever clicking play --
just sit back and watch all of your favorite YouTube content, personally chosen for you, in full screen HD. You can even create new channels on the fly.





<span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%">Watch and browse, simultaneously</span>

With Google TV, you can browse the web or open an app and watch TV on the same screen. 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. It's just like picture-in-picture mode, but with the web and the TV.





<span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%">TV gets a homepage </span>

Turn on your television and you'll instantly have access to your favorite channels, apps, podcasts, and websites, thanks to the Google TV home screen. The home screen is customizable for you, by you, so that you can always change your preferences.





<span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%">Create a TV playlist </span>

Want to watch something, but don't have time right now? Send it to your Google Queue and watch it later. You can also subscribe to your favorite websites and video podcasts, add YouTube videos, and more. It's like building a DVR for the web.





<span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%">Record from the search bar </span>

If you're a DISH Network subscriber using Google TV, you’ll enjoy many enhanced TV and DVR features, including recording a show right from the search bar and being able to search all of your recordings at once.





<span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%">Rock out in your living room </span>

Listen to your favorite music on the best speakers in your house by creating a personal radio station on the fly with Pandora or listening
to any song, any time, with Napster.





<span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%">The ultimate picture frame </span>

Turn the biggest screen in your house into a beautiful, high definition photo gallery. Now your TV can stream photos from Picasa, Flickr, and
every other photo-sharing site. Plus, you can access any public gallery, not just your own.





<span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%">Over-the-air updates </span>

How many consumer electronics products go up in value after you buy them? Google TV updates itself automatically, so you'll get new features for free.
