Sony Internet TV - Google Powered!

Sony’s Google TV television range, also known as Sony Internet TV (SIT), has finally been announced officially, with prices, sizes, features and other details. Sony’s premium to embed Google TV into television sets seems minimal. Wonder why!

• NSX-24GT1 - $599
• NSX-32GT1 - $799
• NSX-40GT1 - $999
• NSX-46GT1 - $1399

All of the Sony Internet TV sets are edge-lit LED LCD, except the 24-inch model, which is CFFL. An integrated web-cam seems to be an obvious missing feature. Sony intends to provide simultaneous web surfing and TV, with what it calls "Dual View." Sony Internet Television will also enable users to search programs, the web, DVR, applications, etc., from a single place. You will also be able to access your PC content with a DLNA connection. People saw Sony’s button-loving QWERTY remote control, and now it's learnt that it is an RF learning (i.e. universal) remote. The ability to controlling the television with an Android smartphone will also be coming soon.

Sony’s Google TV sets are powered by Android and an Intel Atom processor, and feature Wi-Fi connectivity and USB ports built-in.A Sony Internet TV compatible Blu-ray player will also be available. Pre-orders are open for the televisions now, while they are expected in stores in the U.S. by October 24th. By announcing it will be the only TV vendor for Google TV this year.
