The Official Google TV Blog: An Update on Google TV

Friday, October 28, 2011

Today, we’re announcing a software update for Google TV. In this release, we focused on four areas of user feedback:

1. Keep it simple
2. Make it easy to find something worth watching
3. Make YouTube better on TV
4. Bring more apps to TV

This software update will be coming to Sony devices starting early next week and Logitech devices soon thereafter. We look forward in the coming months to announcing new software updates as well as new devices on new chipsets from multiple hardware partners.
