Samsung working on a Google TV device Samsung president Yoon Book-Keun has said today that the company is in the final stages of negotiating a deal with Google to bring a Google TV device to the market.
The HDTV will likely be unveiled at CES in January.

Currently, the only official partner Google has in the project is Sony, as Logitech recently bowed out. The company, which made the Revue set-top box, said they lost $90 million due to sluggish sales.

Google recently updated the software to Honeycomb 3.1, its largest update since launch.



LG will officially become a partner when it launches its own Google HDTV at CES.
