Google TVwas a smart TV operating system from Google co-developed by Intel, Sony and Logitech. It launched in October 2010 [1] with official devices initially made by Sony and Logitech. [2] Google TV integrated the Android 3.0/3.2 operating system and the Google Chrome web browser to create an interactive television overlay on top of existing online video sites to add a 10-foot user interface, for a smart TV experience.

Contents

Google TV's first generation devices were all based on x86 architecture processors and were created and commercialized by Sony and Logitech. The second generation of devices are all based on ARM architecture processors and with additional partners including LG, Samsung, [3] Vizio and Hisense. In 2013, more second generation Google TV-supported devices were announced by new partners, including Hisense, Netgear, TCL, and Asus, some of which include 3D video support.

Google TV was succeeded in June 2014 by Android TV, a newer platform which shares closer ties with the Android platform and has a revamped user experience integrating with Knowledge Graph, and providing casting support from mobile devices. [4] As of June 2014, the Google TV SDK is no longer available, ending any future software development for existing devices and effectively deprecating the platform. [5] The "Google TV" branding has since been used as a replacement for Google Play Movies & TV, and to refer to a user interface used on newer Android TV devices (such as Chromecast with Google TV).

History

Features

Google TV leveraged many of Google's existing products. Google TV's operating system, a customized version of Android 3.0/3.2 designed for TV, provided the underlying foundation, allowing developers to create applications that extended the system's functionality. Google's Chrome browser provided a gateway to the Internet, allowing consumers to browse web sites and watch television in tandem. Consumers could access HBO, CNBC, and content from other providers through the Chrome browser. Android and Apple smartphones and tablet computers could be used as remote controls for Google TV. Google TV products shipped with wireless remote controls with a full QWERTY keypad. An update in November 2011 allowed access to Google Play and enabled search to find content from live TV, Netflix, YouTube, HBO GO, Amazon, and more. [29]

Xyologic has compiled a list of the early Google TV apps with the largest number of installations. [30] As of November 2012, the most installed apps were Napster, Pandora Radio and CNBC.

Reviews

DateAuthorPublisherDevice generationComments
October 29, 2010 Nilay Patel Engadget BlogFirst generationRemarked, "Google TV feels like an incomplete jumble of good ideas only half-realized, an unoptimized box of possibility that suffers under the weight of its own ambition and seemingly rushed holiday deadline." [64]
November 13, 2010Kevin Sintumuang Wall Street Journal First generationreview that "The potential is as big as, well, the Internet, but right now Google TV is a bit of a tease." [65]
November 17, 2010 David Pogue The New York TimesFirst generationSaid "This much is clear: Google TV may be interesting to technophiles, but it's not for average people." Concentrating more on the product's usefulness for finding and watching television shows than on its capabilities as an Internet appliance, he also expressed concern about the inconsistencies throughout the user interface as well as the fragmentation of Google TV. [66]
July 28, 2010Matt BurnsTechCrunchFirst generationCommentators were saying "Google TV is sinking" and that it was "on its last legs" as launch partner Logitech slashed the price of its Revue (from $249 to $99) to clear unsold inventory. [67]
November 3, 2011Matt BurnsTechcrunchFirst generationSome of the same commentators praised Google TV 2.0 as having a "brilliant interface" but still lacking "substance." Said "The latest Google TV, referred to as Google TV 2.0 throughout the rest of this review, is a star performer. It runs like a champ and it's clear that Google engineers paid close attention to criticism of version 1.0." [68]

June 27, 2012

Marshal RosenthalGadget ReviewSecond generationIt says: "The advantage of the Google experience is that much of what is going on is happening online — as you're accessing video, photos, looking at stuff that is not just locally based." The LG 55G2 product was rated in general as excellent. [73]

Competitors and controversies

Cable providers as well as content providers did not participate in the Google TV platform due to it allowing access through a web browser rather than authenticated apps which could enforce geolocation and international copyright restrictions. NBC, ABC, Fox, [74] CBS/The CW, Hulu, and Viacom blocked Google TV enabled devices from accessing their web content through the platform's entire life. [75] [76] Of the cable and satellite providers, only Dish Network had embraced Google TV and promoted it by offering customers a discount on the Logitech Revue. [77] In contrast, the Android TV ecosystem has all the major American television networks and streaming providers' apps.

In January 2014, Google filed a UDRP case against the owner of domain names androidtv.com and xbmcandroidtv.com. The domain names were owned by Exo Level, Inc. and were registered with GoDaddy in November 2006. In March 2014, Google's case was denied. [78] [79]

A mobile operating system is an operating system for smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, smartglasses, or other non-laptop personal mobile computing devices. While computers such as typical/mobile laptops are "mobile", the operating systems used on them are generally not considered mobile ones, as they were originally designed for desktop computers that historically did not have or need specific mobile features. This line distinguishing mobile and other forms has become blurred in recent years, due to the fact that newer devices have become smaller and more mobile unlike hardware of the past. Key notabilities blurring this line are the introduction of tablet computers and light-weight laptops and the hybridization of the two in 2-in-1 PCs.
