GoogleTV being created by Motorola
A couple years ago I blogged about what I thought would eventually happen — Google would create an internet connected set-top box. Well, it took years for something to really happen on that front, but now it sounds like Motorola is going to be taking the project on.
Android, the operating system designed and developed for mobile devices like the G1, is now said to be the brains behind a new set-top box being created by Motorola called “au Box”. The time is definitely ripe for something like this.
An internet connected cable box holds many possibilities. Would you consider buying a set-top box that would let you log into your Google Account? Staying connected (to email, news, ads, etc), even while enjoying television or a movie could either be extremely annoying, or great — let’s hear what you think in the TalkBack!
