Sony Reveals Google TV New Product Line-up

Google TV is supposed to be available before winter hits and with the cold creeping in, Google's partners are busy showing off their Google TV wares.

Yesterday Sony held a press conference in New York City and revealed its range of Google TV hardware. The company debuted everything from a $400 Set-top box-cum-Blu-ray player to a $1,400 HDTV.

The cheapest TV Sony unveiled yesterday was a $599 and is the 24-inch NSX-24GT1. Next is the 32-inch class NSX-32GT1 for $799.99 and then the 40-inch NSX-40GT1 clocks in at just under $999.99. The most expensive model is the 46-inch NSX-46GT1, which costs $1,399.99. All four models feature built-in WiFi, four HDMI inputs and four USB inputs, an Intel CPU, and Google TV built-in. All but the cheapest in the line feature an Edge LED backlight display. The $599 model packs a CCFL backlight design. All come bundled with Sony's new RF QWERTY keypad remote with integrated optical mouse.

Completing Sony's Internet TV line is the company's Blu-ray player ($399), which features Blu-ray Disc playback capability (obviously) and comes with Google TV built-in, an Intel CPU, one HDMI input, one HDMI output, four USB inputs, built-in WiFi and that same RF QWERTY keypad remote.

Google TV allows users to browse the web, as well as search for content across your TV and the internet. It's based on Google's Android OS and uses the Chrome browser. The platform also allows you to download applications to your TV via the Android marketplace. All of Sony's TVs will come with Netflix, CNBC, Napster, Pandora and Sony Qriocity VOD pre-installed.

Sony's Google TV line will hit its outlets by this weekend and should hit Best Buy before the month is out.

Logitech also began sending out shipping notifications for its Logitech Revue set-top box. Those who pre-ordered last week can expect their Revue to ship on October 21.
