Sony Electronics has announced its Blu-ray player model NSX-GT1, powered by Google TV — the world's first device with the ability to play Blu-ray discs, watch HDTV, enjoy apps, and browse the Internet seamlessly on one device. It is built on the Android platform, runs the Google Chrome browser and includes an Intel Atom processor. It will be available in October and is priced at $399.99 ($100 more than the Logitech Google TV platform, which doesn't have BD).
The main features of the NSZ-GT1 are:
Google TV built-in
Seamlessly search across your television & Internet for content
Surf the web while watching TV using Dual View
Upgradeable Google TV platform
