According to a report by the New York Times; Google will be launching their Android OS based “Google TV” software next month. This will most likely be during Google’s largest developer conference; the I/O event:

“Google, of Mountain View, Calif., is currently planning on sharing some details about the technology with more than 3,000 developers expected to attend its Google I/O conference in San Francisco May 19 and 20. One person familiar with the matter cautioned the company could also decide to delay discussing it until the technology is more mature. Google uses the annual conference to showcase a range of technologies of interest to developers.”

Already Google has attracted partners such as Intel, Logitech and even more recently Sony. Sony has shown great interest in revitalizing its TV sales by adopting the use of Android OS. This comes after an announcement by Bloomberg that Sony is planning on announcing a number of devices (e.g. set top boxes and/or televisions) that utilize not only Android OS but Intel chips too.

“Google TV” is heralded as a revolution in television were the use of Android OS won’t only turn our televisions into web surfing devices (something that hasn’t been done successfully as yet); but we will also be able to keep track of those inundating social network feeds…indeed, twitter is coming to a TV near you!

There is much anticipation for Google’s I/O event as there is an expectation that a lot of major announcements will be made. There is also hope that Google will shed more light on it’s development of Chrome OS.

The I/O event commences on the 19th of May.
