The Verge reached the detailed information and photos of the official version of Android for TVs. According to them, Google will soon have to spend their own set-top box, competing with released last week FireTV from Amazon, and hundreds of Chinese entrees based on Android, but being a modification of the system for tablets, often devoid of Google services. Later Android TV would appear not only on TVs from Philips, but also other partners.
What we see on the screen shots, and what I’d seen in the case of Philips looks really interesting.
In the case of Philips also is a new “TV” Android, but with an overlay of the Dutch-Chinese joint venture. The interface resembles what we know perfectly with Smart TV. There is no revolution, but I think this will be Android. Unlike Amazon, do not expect any surprises here. It is to be finally establish rivalries and minimize internal competition.
Today Android in the form of all sorts of appetizers is already quite popular, especially in countries such as Poland, where piracy and kombinatorstwo this bread. We do not get decent service and we have to somehow deal, even if we have to spend a week over the configuration of a androidowego dongle’a. Even more its presence on TV Android marks in China. Many television manufacturers have native platform is based on an open version of the green robot.
Now the game has come Google officially and with a flourish.
only for the time being cut off from leaks and probably waiting for conferences Google I / O or other event. Android TV is a chance that, finally, the TV apps will have arms and legs. Google will announce the official standards for new games and programs for devices with no touch screens and remote controlled. This will allow us to have pretensions to Google and developers, if their applications do not work properly on the TV.
But Android TV succeed?
If they are only Philips TVs and snap, it’s practically not change. It will be a little more customized applications, some more users. Android TV come out a little to the civilized world, which actually creates trends. But hit and so Android will not.
The real opportunity will impotence TV manufacturers that already slowly begins to manifest itself. No one but Samsung is not able to break through to a wider awareness of attractive platform for Smart TV. Manufacturers are trying to do something, but the effects are at best average. The acquisition of local content takes ages. Helplessness can lead to the desire to reach for the Android TV. Here you should first rely on Sony TV which already are driven to some extent by the green robot, but users and developers can not derive any benefit from this. It is also LG that next WebOS can successfully develop Android TV. A Toshiba, Sharp and other manufacturers will follow suit.
of Google Android TV is nothing sensational, it is known to all platform, adapted to the current standards for televisions. The upside is of course one Google Account, Google Play store and brand itself Android, which is really a good recognition.
However, I’m not so skeptical of this idea, as even once. Smart TV market has shown that it is not able to cope without Apple, Google and Microsoft. And companies such as LG, Panasonic, Sharp, Sony, Toshiba are great producers of equipment, while the more advanced soft is not their story.
