Matsushita’s Panasonic, Google To Work On Internet-Ready TVs from SmartMoney reports Panasonic is working with Google to make TVs that display internet content.
Matsushita Electric Industrial, the company behind Panasonic, said the TVs will enable users to browse and watch YouTube videos from their TVs. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronic Show yesterday by Toshihiro Sakamoto, president of Panasonic AVC Networks Co, and Steve Cheng, the co-founder of Google’s YouTube unit.
For now, it looks like these TVs will be Ethernet ready and have a possible interface to Google’s YouTube product, similar to how the Apple iPhone works. I am sure Google is interested in doing a lot more with TVs, but it seems like this announcement is about launching a YouTube ready TV.
