Sony introduced Sony Internet TV, powered by Google TV, its first range of TVs and Blu-ray players powered by the Google TV software for access to web content. The Google TV devices are based on the Android platform, run the Google Chrome browser and include an Intel Atom processor to support searching for internet and TV content. The models also feature Dual View, allowing users to watch TV while using the internet, access to the Android Market for additional applications, and the ability to bookmark content online. Sony's streaming service Video On Demand powered by Qriocity as well as pre-installed apps from CNBC, Napster, NBA, Netflix, Pandora, Twitter, and YouTube are also on the TVs. The sets come with a RF qwerty keypad remote incorporating an optical mouse for navigation. Select mobile devices such as an Android phone can control the TV with an app that will be available for download from the Android Market later this autumn. To connect to the internet, the devices come with a Wi-Fi connection, and the TVs can also connect to certain PVRs from the Dish Network in the US. The LCD HDTVs come in 24, 32, 40 and 46-inch versions and range in price from USD 599.99 to USD 1,399.99. The Blu-ray player will cost USD 399.99.
