Berichten der Nachrichtenagentur Reuters zufolge will der Softwareriese Microsoft offenbar auch ins TV-Geschäft einsteigen und steckt deshalb derzeit in Verhandlungen mit Medienunternehmen. Demnach soll Microsoft mit mehreren Fernsehsendern verhandeln, um seine Spielkonsole Xbox 360 mit Fernsehprogrammen nach dem Pay-TV-Modell füttern zu können.
Wie ein insider am Montag gegenüber der Nachrichtenagentur Reuters äußerte, wolle Microsoft sich ebenso wie Google mit „Google TV“ oder Apple mit „Apple TV“ einen Teil vom TV-Markt sichern. Sollten sich die Verhandlungen als erfolgreich herausstellen, könnte Microsoft mit einer kostengünstigen Alternative und attraktiven Filmen dem Bezahl-Fernsehen Kunden abjagen.

Zudem stünde noch offen, auf welche Art und Weise Microsoft den Nutzern der Xbos 360 die TVAngebote verkaufen möchte. Das könnte Sie auch interessieren Tags Apple, Google, Microsoft Trackback. I Want My GTV: Will Google TV Soar Or Sink? Notwithstanding the glitches, the demo last week was impressive: the seamless blending of TV and web content, the beautiful UI, the smooth search and browse capabilities. Now, a few days after the heady discussion and CEO briefings at Google’s I/O developer conference, we can reflect a bit on what the outlook might be for this ambitious new Google initiative. Is Google TV (GTV) another Orkut or will it turn out to be more like the software it’s built on — the increasingly successful Android platform.
The specter of other failed or only modestly successful attempts to bring web and TV together are a cautionary narrative running in the background. For example, a range of articles have cited Microsoft’s largely unsuccessful “Web TV” (MSN TV) in particular but also Boxee and Apple’s “hobby,” Apple TV, among several others. The road to “connected TV” or “smart TV” is paved with dead set-top boxes.

Seen in an ad shown on ABC’s Nightline, the giant keyboard above is actually the remote control for Sony’s own Google TV hardware, due to be revealed on October 12th. Sony seems to have dipped back into the 1980s for the remote’s design, an age when more of anything was better. The device seems to be big enough to be awkward in the hand, and yet still small enough to slip down the back of the couch, and features a full QWERTY keyboard, a couple of directional controls, plus dedicated switches for volume, channel selection and everything else.

New enhanced Picture in Picture functionality lets you resize and move the PiP window to keep your browsing and your TV watching in perspective with your Twittering.

High performance access to file storage Google has begun testing pre-roll advertisements that users can freely skip in a select number of videos on YouTube. For an indefinite period of time, a small sample of videos on the website will now include a "skip this ad" button that ditches the pre-roll pitch completely.
On the surface it seems a rather half-baked scheme on Google's part. After all, exactly who would choose to sit through a pre-roll ad when they could simply click through and get on with the show? Well, that's apparently exactly what the company is wondering too.

To win the hearts, minds, and dollars of the public, Google TV will have to pass two tests: the Mom Test and the Nerd Test. The Mom Test measures (in perfectly scientific ways, provided your definition of science includes "my opinion") whether the average non-techy person will be able to both easily use and see the value in a product.
The iPhone passes the Mom Test. Ubuntu does not. The Nerd Test, on the other hand, measures whether those who are already familiar with tech will respect and appreciate this new effort. The Mom Test is important because without the support of non-experts, the platform will never gain mainstream popularity and market share.
