Sonys Internet TV (powered by Google TV) initial hands-on! (update: video)

We only laid our undeserved eyes on a brand-new Sony Internet TV powered by Google TV (boy is which the swig and it looks just a right arrange of complicated. We got a discerning chance to play with a remote and it definitely appeals to the nerd inside of us — it’s nice to reason as well as make use of, nonetheless a optical rodent pad in a top right dilemma was flattering wonky upon the units we attempted. (Sony chalked it up to RF interference, but we’ll have to examine further.) We’ll be updating you with a little video so stay tuned!

Update: The video is up. Plus we’ve got a little thoughts for you to double your pleasure:It’s engaging how UI beam between the dissimilar TV sizes — the search bar looks comically large upon the larger TV sizes, as well as only about right on a middle sizes.While you don’t have to switch inputs, as Sony and Google have been so unapproachable to point out, there is the graphic resolution switch which a TV is undergoing between live TV as well as a Google TV app UI — 1080i to 720p would be the guess.Something that could be the real emanate for Google TV is the miss of UI coherence. You’re dealing with your DVR’s UI, a Google TV search as well as record experience, a Chrome browsing knowledge, and then whatever UI the sold media browsing app might have (all a ones we tried were vastly dissimilar from each other). You can also crop your recorded shows from the Google TV UI or your own DVR’s UI, that between alternative overlapping functionality competence prove confusing when it’s not being convenient.The picture-in-picture duty, that is the elementary right click upon a right d-pad, is probably going to be a well ragged option for Google TV users — keeping a uncover starting live while seeking something up in the browser or in an app is sort of this machine’s bread as well as butter, as well as it’s nicely available to access.The Sony keyboard remote feels good in the palm, though it’s pretty unintuitive. Although both of your thumbs rest naturally on the controls up tip, you’re not supposed to use them at a same time — you can possibly arrow around a UI with a left ride or control a mouse with the fussy optical pad underneath your right. The two things have been totally separate, so you’re using the arrows as well as you incidentally click the right button, you end up selecting whatever’s under the mouse cursor and starting off in a all different direction. It’s uncanny, especially since it’s ostensible to feel like the PS3 controller — the controller that in all uses both ride controls together very effectively.Oh, and there are the million little buttons for everything, not all of which have a ton of sense in each configuration, as well as a little of which have been just totally mysterious — there’s no way you’re starting to get what the star as well as Fn buttons do upon a initial go.Sony’s Google TV-powered Internet TV first hands-on!
