Samsung Considering Developing Google TV Hardware

Samsung has confirmed that it’s currently considering developing Google TV hardware. The company is apparently reviewing the prospect of using the Android-based shell but is worried about support in South Korea. Media producers will need to support Google’s platform in South Korea in order to make the whole deal sensible. Such a move could be a response to Sony’s previous announcement that it plans to release Bravia TVs that will be using Google TV by the fall. Of course, the question on many peoples’ lips is whether you should go with Google TV or choose Apple’s latest Apple TV unit?
