Google Teams Up With Intel, Sony To Help Make Web TV A Reality

The FT reports that Google , Intel and Sony will announce a "significant breakthrough into consumer electronics and the broadcast industry" later this week with the launch of a so-called “Smart TV” platform. In case that sounds familiar, that's because Bloomberg and the WSJ reported as much on April 29, apart from the apparent name of the Web TV platform that would be making its debut at Google I/O . Google's developer conference will be held May 19 - 20 in San Francisco.
