Sony Launches Blu-ray Player with Google TV Support

Posted October 13, 2010 08:07 AM by Juan Calonge

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
  • Blu-ray Disc playback capability
  • Download apps from Android Market (*coming in early 2011)
  • Superior processing power with Intel Inside
  • Easy-to-use RF QWERTY keypad remote with integrated optical mouse
  • Link to select mobile phones (coming this fall)
  • Built-in Wi-Fi
  • One HDMI input, one HDMI output and four USB inputs
