HDTV maker Vizio on Tuesday introduced its first Google TV-powered set-top box product, which lets users experience live TV and streaming content and includes access to OnLive cloud gaming.
The new Vizio Co-Star Stream Player, which Vizio touts as "a smarter way to watch TV," provides access to apps through Google Play, streaming video and music, and full-screen Web browsing via Google Chrome with support for Adobe Flash Player and HTML5. The pocket-sized device can be connected to a user's cable or satellite TV box.
The Vizio Co-Star will be available for pre-orders next month at Vizio.com for $99.99, with an introductory free shipping offer.
The device boasts support for 1080p full HD, 3D entertainment, and wireless Internet access. It comes with a universal touchpad remote and keyboard, so users won't need to switch TV inputs or remotes to access alternative content.
Users can browse websites, search for streaming music and TV shows while simultaneously watching live TV through picture-in-picture technology. Besides accessing apps like Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, M-GO, YouTube and iHeartRadio, the Vizio Co-Star also lets users play games on demand through the OnLive's cloud gaming service.
"Our focus to deliver the best consumer experience continues with today's announcement of the Co-Star, which delivers a superior smart TV interface that anyone can add to their existing HDTV," Matt McRae, Vizio's chief technology officer, said in a statement. "We combined the powerful features of Google TV with an intuitive and easy to use interface, giving users the power to enjoy an entire world of entertainment."

Ma gandesc sa dau unda verde la cumpararea unui astfel de device, din Canada. Pana in Septembrie il am.
Interesant:
- HDMI IN - poti folosit device-ul in timp ce te uiti la posturi TV pe STB sau te joci pe consola
- browser
- telecomanda cu suprafata tactila si tastatura QWERTY care se afla pe partea de jos a telecomenzii
si nu in ultimul rand pretul de doar 99USD.
