The next wave of TVs enabled with Google TV will take a little longer, according to a report from NY Times. If the sources prove to be correct, Google TV products won’t make a big impact at the upcoming CES next month due to the product’s mediocre reviews.
Companies like Toshiba, LG and Sharp were planning to introduce their products but were apparently instructed by Google to push their products as it will give them time to “refine the software.”
“We will not be announcing a Toshiba TV or Blu-ray player or demonstrating the products at CES. We have an understanding with Google about the future product roadmap and will bring the right product out at the right timeframe,” confirmed Jeff Barney, the vice president of Toshiba’s digital products division.
However, one company that will launch their Google TV-enabled TV is Samsung and will mostly be unveiled during the scheduled keynote on Jan 6.
