Google TV will finally be available this Saturday, Sony says. The electronics giant just unveiled its line of Google TV products, including televisions and Blu-ray players, at a press conference in New York.
Each of the devices includes Google software designed to bring the complete Internet experience to TV sets. They'll be on sale in Sony Style stores and at
sonystyle.com on Oct. 16, and at Best Buy "shortly after," Sony says.
Other upcoming Google TV products include a $299 set-top box from Logitech, which will be available at the end of the month.
Sony's Blu-ray player is a pricey $399. Its line of four Google TVs have a wider price range than analysts had expected, starting at $599 for a 24-inch LCD, and going all the way up to $1,399 for a 46-inch LCD TV.
All of the Sony devices use Google's Android operating system. You will be able to download Android apps -- currently designed for Google phones and tablets -- onto them starting early next year. Perhaps developers will come up with some new, TV-specific apps?
