Google TV has lots of Apps, Two Products Set for Fall Release.

We have all seen our fair share of DVRs, however, Google has released one set-top box OS that is sure to gain popularity.  Google TV is not a set-top box, but more of an operating system, as on Google’s website, the products listed are a Sony TV with Google TV built in, or Logitech Revue set-top box with Google TV.  Both of which have yet to be released.

What sets Google TV apart from the rest are its freely accesible apps from the Android Market (starting next year).  Google TV does come preloaded with apps such as Netflix, Twitter, Pandora, and more.  Yes, of course Google TV comes with Chrome and Adobe Flash Player 10.1, which means you will be able to freely browse the internet, regardless of website requirements.

Other features include the ability to use your Android phone or iPhone as a remote, with unlimited remotes possible, the ability to “fling” video from your phone to your TV, and the ability to record TV from DISH Network (if you subscribe to DISH Network) right from the search bar.

As for a release date, its up in the air.  Rumor had it at September 29th, now the release date is expected on October 17th, but all of this is could change.  One thing is for sure, it will be released sometime this fall.  If you would like to check out more on Google TV, you can go directly to Google’s website at www.google.com/tv.
