Vizio Google TV Concept
The new year is upon us and Google are starting out with a bang by announcing a new partner for the Google TV platform. Â Vizio has officially jumped on the Google TV bandwagon and should be making some big announcements at CES.
Here’s what Google had to say of the official Google TV blog:
Google TV: A new partner for the new year
We’re back from the holidays and ready to get crackin’ on 2011. Last year, we launched the first version of Google TV with our partners Sony and Logitech, and this year, we’ll continue to make the product even better for you. As we shared last month, we’re constantly iterating on Google TV, adding new features and content, improving the user experience, and fixing bugs. We are in the early stages, and the future is bright.
Today I’m excited to share that we’re kicking off the year with a new partner, Vizio, a leading TV maker in the U.S. Vizio is making a new line of TVs and a Blu-ray player incorporating Google TV that will hit shelves later this year.
Also in 2011, we plan to bring developers tools for building applications specifically for the TV and living room, and we plan to bring Android Market to Google TV, so consumers can download thousands of applications to their TVs. Check back in with us periodically to see the latest from our team and partners.

Let’s hope this means that Google TV will really start to take off this year and the platform will get some significant enhancements and collaboration with the media networks will be forthcoming.
Also, remember to enter to win a Google TV from AndroidStory.
