Sony is expected to next month unveil home-entertainment devices that use Intel chips and Google software, Bloomberg reported, citing two people familiar with the matter. The companies plan to discuss the new products at a conference sponsored by Google in San Francisco on 19-20 May, said the people, who asked not to be identified because details are still being worked out. Intel is contributing a customized version of its Atom chip that will run a new version of Google's Android operating system called Dragonpoint. Sony would use Intel and Google to help produce televisions and Blu-ray DVD players with internet access. Intel wants to get its chips into new areas, including mobile phones and consumer electronics. The three companies have been working with Logitech International on ways to add more internet content to televisions, sources said in March. Logitech is developing a keyboard that would work as a remote control, one of the people said.
