That was the case at the Samsung booth this week, where the CE juggernaut showed off an upcoming Blu-ray Disc player and "companion box" enabling the use of the much talked-about Google TV service.
The combination of Samsung's new Blu-ray player and its Google TV companion box allows consumers to surf the Internet and find video using Google's powerful search engine, update Facebook statuses, check email, and a whole lot more - all from their TV screens the same as they might on a traditional computer.
This Google TV hardware duo will be built on the Android platform, and will "include a variety of Internet services for consumers." Samsung also says that "a special Google TV remote control will provide users with a full QWERTY keypad and voice search supported through an internal microphone."
As you can see, details on the hardware and its capabilities are still a bit scant, but Samsung maintains that the pair will be available at retail this year before the end of June.
