In the autumn of last year, Google made a first attempt to take over your living room with the launch of Google TV is a platform that combines online using television content to create promising to usher in a new era of convenience and interactive experience.
Unfortunately to date, he was mainly a dud. The platform too complex user interface and content issues (some of the main channels specifically blocking access to their Web sites from Google TV devices) has resulted in low adoption. Google is reportedly giving platform for major revamp, and there is at least one more bright light in the future: coming soon, Google TV will support Android applications.
Now, Google has been promising platform will receive Android support since it was first announced that until now has not been strong indication as to when this will happen in reality (most specific got Google was "summer"). Today we are one big step closer to seeing that promise come off: Google just released a preview version of Google TV plugin for Android SDK.
This does not mean that you can install Android applications yet. Rather, it means that developers can begin to configure their existing Android applications for so-called "10-foot experience", in such a way that their application will be ready as soon as the update of the Google TV ship to users.

To start doing this, load the add-in to Google TV today. In addition please continue to contact us in the Android developer community forum Google TV. We look forward to your input!
