Photo: Sony It s official. Google TV is coming to the UK in the form of a 200 set-top box developed by Sony and landing sometime next month in July. First Google TV flopped Google TV, a product from the search engine titans which mergestelevision viewing with online capabilities and apps, was firstlaunched all the way back in 2010 with the Logitech Revue set-topbox. However, consumer reaction was anything but positive. In fact,people complained of a buggy, poorly designed OS , with limited apps and a high price. For Logitech, the experiencewas a disaster, with the Google set-top box losing the company $100 million . Two years later, though, Google has since made many changes tothis service and now the improved Google TV is coming to Britain onboard the Sony NSZ-GS7 set-top box . Redesigned user interface So just what s better with Google TV this time around, one mightask? Well, for starters, the entire user interface and OS has beenredesigned, for the better. Your favourite TV channels, apps likeYouTube, the Chrome browser for online activities and so on are nowaccessible directly from the home screen – much like with asmartphone. Also like on a smartphone, Google TV users will havemany more apps to choose from than before. Uses Android based OS Actually, the new Google TV OS is based on Android and, as aresult, it can run Android apps , although these must first be optimised for use with TV screensizes. Therefore, we can definitely expect many more quality appsthan before. Besides which, Google has played a role in optimisingsome of the most important apps, such as YouTube, for use on thelarge TV screen. Other major on board apps that users can lookforward to include the ubiquitous BBC iPlayer, the Chrome browser,as well Google TV s photo viewer which can aggregate photos fromservices like Picasa, Flickr etc. Better TV remote It s not just the OS which has received an overhaul, thecontroller has too. If you remember the Logitech Revue, thenyou ll know it came with an awkward to use full size keyboard forcontrolling the Google TV set-top box. The new and improved GoogleTV Sony box, on the other hand, comes with an ordinary sized Sony remote control . What makes this universal remote special is that it contains a QWERTY sized keyboard on its reverse side to make tasks like internet browsing easier, as well as a touch screen on its front side for use with many apps. Moreover, the Sony NSZ-GS7 set top box can also be controlled via an Android smartphone or tablet of yourchoice if you prefer. Dangerously high price tag While the Sony Google TV box certainly looks like a majorimprovement over the Google TV from two years ago, there is onefactor that could hurt its chance at success, namely, its highprice. Sony are selling the NSZ-GS7 set-top box for 200, whichis a bit much for just internet capable Google TV. Apparently the company is also launching a Google TV Blu-ray player later , but there s no confirmation yet on when Sony is launching a TVwith integrated Google television. We suspect the latter wouldappeal to customers more since they get both Google TV abilitiesand a new television in one package.
