Google TV choices for home theaters unveiled

Google TV choices for home theaters unveiled at IFA 2012 including Hisense, Samsung and Sony. Late last year Eric Schmidt announced that "by the summer of 2012, the majority of the televisions you see in stores will have Google TV embedded."

A number of partners are now unveiling their products inlcuding Hisense and Samsung for the first time. Details are sketchy at this point but the Google blog provides the following details -

Hisense joins the Google TV family: Hisense will be giving the first view of the Hisense Pulse with Google TV, launching in the US later this year.

Samsung will be previewing its first Google TV device: Later this year, Samsung will introduce a Samsung Smart TV with Google TV, expanding the premium content and services available through Samsung Apps.

Sony will showcase its Internet Player NSZ-GS7: The device will soon be hitting shelves in Germany, France, and the Netherlands following its launch in the UK earlier this summer.

The news of Google TV choices for home theaters unveiled can only mean that there will be more choice in home theater equipment and connectivity. Our eyes will be on Samsung given they are a large player in the TV market and that this will be one of many products coming out.
