Google TV Devices will Face Delays As Google Needs to Work on the Software

Posted: 20 Dec 2010 03:28 AM PST

At the Consumer Electronics Show next month in Las Vegas, Google was supposed to unveil its new software for televisions, through which TV sets were going to get web video and similar features, however now there won't be many Google TV boasting devices launched at the CES, as the company needs time to work on the actual software itself.

Initially, Sony and Logitech were the only two companies that partnered with Google to begin selling Google TV powered devices. Companies like Samsung and Vizio were said to be launching Google TV devices at CES, but it looks like bad luck surrounds Google TV as last month Viacom owned channels were blocked on it and now consumers would have to wait a little longer for devices from Toshiba, Sharp and LG, considering the fact that Google needs time to work on the software.

The New York Times reports:

Google has asked the TV makers to delay their introductions, according to people familiar with the company's plans, so that it can refine the software, which has received a lukewarm reception

In light of this claim, consumers will definitely see a greater number of Google TV devices after this software is updated, however it is expected to happen next year, and if all goes too well, there just might be the addition of the Android Market to the service as well.

After this updated software is launched, do you expect Google TV to achieve better appreciation than it did initially? Let us know in your comments below.

Yet another surprise comes our way from the internet search giant that is Google, Google Labs to be specific has discreetly debuted Shared Spaces, which uses Google Wave technology in order to allow users to easily create a space with collaborative gadgets and a chat box inside.

Users can use it for general discussions as well as sharing files with people they want to.

When Shared Spaces is rolled out to the masses it is going to be fairly easy to create a space, grab a corresponding gadget from the gallery of 50 that exists already, One can create their own gadgets if they know JavaScript, then to make it viral, the user can paste the Space's URL into a chat window, e-mail message, tweet or any other content-sharing platform to let people know about that particular space on Shared Spaces.

Search giant Google has not revealed as to when Shared Spaces beta will finally be available for everyone, however it can be assumed that this service just might prove to be the next big thing, at least for some users.
