Just a few days after Amazon unveiled the Fire TV, Google will reportedly launch its own set-top box.
Quote:
Documents obtained by The Verge outline a simpler approach than Google TV, which launched in 2010, and aimed to turn TV sets into larger versions of smartphones.
"Android TV is an entertainment interface, not a computing platform," the document said. "It’s all about finding and enjoying content with the least amount of friction." It will be "cinematic, fun, fluid, and fast."
Like that they haven't given up on the living room with just the Chromecast. Like having different options.
It'll really depend on how they plan on manufacturing this line. Would be a lot easier to have confidence in their products if it doesn't turn out to be another LG/Asus based box with little to no after purchase support.
