Here’s some potentially good news for Google TV fans: Google just bought Motorola-Mobile for $12.5 billion. Why is this good news for your beloved Google TV? Well, its because there’s a good chance that this could mean ever bigger, better upgrades, larger distribution, and eventually the attention and success the Google TV deserves.
Motorola is one of the largest vendors of set-top cable boxes, DVR’s and IPTV’s, and a major distributor to cable companies that lease their products to customers: owning Motorola means that Google suddenly has a potential distribution strategy. The potential for better hardware, better software integration, and more hardware options all presented to a larger market has huge implications. Granted, just because the Google TV might finally get its chance to shine doesn’t mean it will. Keep checking in to see if the Google-Motorola buy-out is just the thing the Google TV needs.
