Google  is launching Google TV soon. The new system is designed to work with both new TV’s with the technology built in or older HDTV’s by using a settop companion box such as the Logitech Revue.

Logitech is the first company to work with Google to bring Google TV to HDTV’s and their box has now arrived at the FCC for inspection.

If it passes, which we assume it will, it should land in the fall of this year when Google is expected to launch it’s new service.

The Logitech Revue is compatible with Harmony remote controls and also comes with a controller that has been customised to work with the Google TV experience.

If you are unsure what Google TV is, it’s a new service from Google that runs on your TV (or with a companion box) and allows you to watch what you want, when you want. The service is internet connected and when searching for something to watch it scans through your PVR, local listings as well as websites such as Youtube to find the content. Due to Google knowing who is logged in to the TV box, it can also provide customised ads to users based on what they want to see rather than the regular ads that we see between shows now.

For the past 23 days, a beta copy of the new iPlayer has been available for beta testers and so far, developers have been happy with the acceptance rates with stats showing that 8% of the users have migrated to the beta version and of those, 10% are actively using the new social features.

HP has launched the TouchSmart 600 multi-touch tablet PC. The HP TouchSmart 600 runs Windows 7 Home Premium, has a 23 inch 1080p Full HD display and runs Intel Core 2 Duo Processors (or Core i3 and i5).

For connectivity it has WiFi built in as well as a BlueTooth connection.

To make use of the large screen as a TV, an optional TV card can be purchased with the TouchSmart 600 allowing you to tune in to TV channels as well as record them if needed.
