The NSZ-GS7 Internet Player with Google TV from Sony might be the perfect little box for those hoping to Internet-enable their TV without actually replacing the TV itself. Google TV uses your existing cable or satellite service so you do not have to switch inputs to use it.
It includes HDMI pass-through, SPDIF, two USB ports, built-in IR blaster, Ethernet and integrated Wi-Fi to provide plenty of connectivity options. The player provides a remote that is Bluetooth and uses standard batteries. It is the touchpad with options like tap-to-click, drag-to-scroll and even pinch-to-zoom that really helps bring the entire player's functionality directly to your living room.
Transform your iPhone, Android phone or tablet into a versatile remote control with a full QWERTY keyboard. Just download the free media remote app if you're looking for one less remote on the coffee table. The app also lets you send Web pages from your phone to your TV to view on the Chrome browser.
Experience your favorite Websites on a grand scale with the built-in Google Chrome browser. With it Flash-based video sites open doors to endless video content and engaging interactivity.
