May I have your attention please?? Before we start our article, we'll just need one minute of your time for an exercise that we'll do together
I want you to imagine now that you have 1 million dollars in your pocket, now take ten seconds and think of what you would do with them.
Done?? I know that you have thought about that before but let's see what most people may say…I'll get myself an iphone, a car, an apartment or even travel to Hawaii
But, have you thought of making them two, three or ten millions?? If your answer is yes then I can tell that you are going to be a millionaire soon, because this is how the fortune owners’ world widely think.
And this way of thinking is exactly what made Google and think of releasing the TV product.
"We are now reaching only two billions of the world population, why don't we reach more??"
Let’s see the result of this way of thinking.
Search your TV
So many jokes we heard on Google and how it can find any thing you want even your red T-shirt at the closet, this is not a joke anymore. Now, you can search you own TV for programs, series, movies or news. moreover Google made an agreement with youtube to provide most of the videos in HD quality to fit the TV screen. So, TV now is no more time consuming…you will watch what exactly you want to watch.
Movies up-to-date
Feeling too lazy to go watch a movie in the cinema ?? But the trailer is so wonderful that you can’t wait for it. My friend! I have good news for you. Now, with Google TV you can watch your favorite movies right after they are released as Google, Netflix and Amazon will provide them for you.
Keep your favorites
sometimes, when watching a movie scene or a series, we just feel like we want to keep the moment and never let it go…moreover if it’s the final of the champions’ league or an interview with Bill Gates…it’s a must to keep them.
Now you don’t have to search youtube for the interview or the match highlights you will just need to use your Google TV to record whatever you want and replay it later.
That’s not the end of the story, If your favorite movie is on but you just have to go out. Now, you can do both things…just tell Google to put it on Queue and watch it later…that simple.
These were the TV features of Google TV. But, who said that it’s just a TV??
More than a TV
- now with your Google TV you can enjoy all the applications you love…write on your friends’ wall on face book…send your tweets on twitter…upload your photos to flickr and more.
- Make you own homepage and save you favorite channels as bookmarks to have an easy access to them.
- Listen to your favorite music on the best speakers in your house by creating a personal radio station on the fly with Pandora or listening to any song, anytime, with Napster.
- Turn the biggest screen in your house into a beautiful, high definition photo gallery.
- You can use your mobile as a remote control for the TV. So if you don’t find the remote control, just give it a ring

All these features and more are now available for you from Google and Sony through it’s all new HD LCD screensbut if you already have your TV and don’t want to buy a new one, Google didn’t forget you as the company has provided SonyInternetTVBlu-rayDiscPlayer.Of course we don’t want to forget the requirements of the big joy although they are not much…just your Google TV and a wireless home network.
The surprise that will shock you is that any updates innovated by Google will be automatically added to your TV for free without any extra fees. So you’ll always be up-to-date.
So, you now have two options: either buying Google TV from Sony with a very reasonable price - I think - of 600$ for a 24” TV up to 1,400$ for a 46” one…If you have your TV, then you’ll need the Disc player for only 400$ … can you believe this ??
Talking about Google TV is endless…but we may consider releasing a book about the features and services it’s providing
One of which is simply that it makes you capable of letting go four or five devices in you home…as you will not need a PC, music player, DVD player and of course you won’t need a Television.
Finally I would like to say that Google isn’t the only company that thought about the TV, Apple did too…and we will try to talk about its features and compare between them in an upcoming article. So stay tuned
