“In addition to enabling users to enjoy advanced Android apps, the latest OS will also provide developers with new opportunities in the Smart TV arena.” “LG’s Google TV with the latest Jelly Bean operating system and NDK support will deliver an enhanced user experience and access to more great apps,” said Havis Kwon, president and CEO of the LG Home Entertainment Company. This level of compatibility makes it easier for developers to enter the burgeoning Smart TV app market. With NDK compatibility, users can now play more games on a bigger LG Google TV screen. Smartphone apps designed using the NDK will run on Google TV with little to no modifications. In addition to boosting overall performance, the latest Jelly Bean update supports the Android-based Native Development Kit (NDK) so Google TV owners can have the widest, most diverse selection of apps to choose from. LG is showcasing its Google TV with the new operating system at the Google I/O developer conference in San Francisco this week. Available in the third quarter, the update will enable customers to enjoy more applications, including games that provide a greater level of interactivity and advanced graphics. SEOUL, LG Electronics (LG) today announced that its Google TVs will be updated with the latest version of the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean operating system. Will Provide Access to Larger, More Diverse Selection of Apps and Games With Support for the Android NDK, LG Smart TV with Google TV LG TO UPDATE GOOGLE TV WITH LATEST ANDROID 4.2.2.
Speaking of YouTube, the GoogleTV Youtube App got a facelift today with the following additions: Word on the Street is that Rubin and YouTube boss “couldn’t be in the same room together”. Google TV has always been a(t least a) generation behind Android phones and you have to wonder if Andy Rubin’s move away from Android is allowing the YouTube group that runs GoogleTV more access to core Android features. In Chrome on Google TV, we’ve added support for hardware-based content protection, enabling developers to provide premium TV content in HD within their web apps. Today Google TV is also moving to the latest version of Chrome, and from now on Google TV benefits from Chrome updates on the same six week cycle that you’ve come to expect from Chrome. For developers, this means you can build TV experiences using the latest Android APIs, including the NDK. Today, Google TV is moving to the latest version of Android (Jelly Bean, 4.2.2), and we’ve refactored Google TV so that our TV OEM partners can update to future versions of Android in a matter of weeks rather than months. Lost in the shuffle of today’s events is that Google TV is getting significant updates today.
