The reports say that Intel and Sony might work together in the Google project to bring the Internet revolution to the television. This joint venture is to develop a setup box which will help to obtain internet in TV also.

A report about this Google project, which is believed to create a huge revolution in the visual media, has been floating around for some time now. According to the reports, Google and ‘Dish Network Corporation’ were testing a method to enable search facility in the television.

The latest reports verify the primary efforts from Google. It is said that to develop ‘Google TV’, Google is joining hands with Intel, the chip manufacturers and Sony, the giant in consumer electronics industry including Television sets.

Though ‘Apple’ earlier created a device to obtain internet through T.V, it could not make any ripples in the industry. According to ‘New York Times’ report, Google is developing a device to bring internet to Blu-ray players and Televisions.

Internet, along with the other T.V channels, will be available in the television with the help of the setup box Google is developing now. Through TV, one can do online search, view social networking sites, view YouTube videos, play online games. In a nutshell, TV will be raised to the standard of a device with large number of possibilities.

The reports also say that Google, Intel and Sony depend on ‘Logitech’ to develop the new setup box. The remote control and keyboard of the setup box will be manufactured by Logitech.

The reports say that the works for the new project has been started for months now. It is believed that the new system will work on Android Operating system. According to the report, Atom chips from Intel will be used in the setup box.

Google TV is believed to bring a revolution in the advertisement field also. In America and Europe, internet advertisements have crossed the advertisements in other visual media. The popularity of the internet advertisements will be added when they are brought in the TV also.
