April 5, 2010. World’s First Android TV.

A company in Sweden called “People of Lava” announced the World’s First HDTV that runs on the Android operation system. The first model introduced is a 42-inch full high-definition 1080p LED-backlit screen. This will be followed by 47 and 55-inch models.

The use of Android on HDTV is a smart move, because Android is a fully functional OS design for devices, it is free, and the most important thing, it is all about the Internet.

What better way to have a sophisticated apps control your TV? Perhaps you can even write you own apps to do things the way you want it like how channels should be displayed, what should be on the main menu, etc. Android will make all this possible.

The Internet connectivity will allow you to access to Netflix (Android apps being developed at this writing) movie rentals, Hulu, YouTube, and others to be streamed directly to your TV. While the movie is playing, you can have several other windows open like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, and Skype. Remember, Android can multitasked, so all these apps can run simultaneously. Imagine programing the TV to receive a video phone calls and answering the call directly from the TV. Perhaps the TV can be programmed to record whatever you are watching automatically the second you received an incoming call. The open source nature of Android allow anyone with programming background the flexibility to customized this TV to suit your personal taste. With Android powered device, the possibilities are endless.
The company will initially release this HDTV to the European market starting September 2010.

I was telling my girl this a few days ago....How android is going to blow up like a wildfire. I personally think that android is going to be the future of computing technology.

Its just a matter of time. I told her I wanted to buy stock in anything Android right now...and sell when it blows up.
