well guys i was thinking, now since google tv is out, what you guys think, if sony ps3 could be use as a google tv reciver, i think that would be a big win for ps3, and google, what you guys think>????
thus far google tv is hardware only. would be awesome if PS3 licensed the software thus far its only been built into exclusive hardware
That would totally rock my face off. Google should license to Sony, considering how many PS3s are already out there!
Not to make this a console war thread but I would like to see this on the xbox as well.
With all the 3rd party companies on Microsoft's band wagon (Facebook, Netflix, etc) it has much more of a chance going to the Xbox 360. Especially seeing how many more Xbox's their are than PlayStation's.

Uh, what? PS3 has Facebook integration. Netflix for PS3 works great. If numbers was the criteria of where Google TV should go, then maybe it should go to the Wii first.

Ok, I'm really confused by this. What do you mean by "use as a google tv reciver"? Do you mean have the GoogleTV OS software running on the PS3 or have the PS3 (as-is) plug into the Logitech Revue or Sony TV?
If you mean the former, I highly doubt Sony would do that because the PS software isnt compatible with Android. It runs it's own OS that is needed for it's own functionality like games. Unless you mean, some hacker putting the GoogleTV software on an old PS3 with the "use custom OS" option, in which case, that could work, but render it useless as a PS3.
If you mean the latter, it can certainly plug into the other devices, but I dont see what usefulness it would have. You wouldnt be able to "search" the PS3 or anything.

Erm granted there are more xboxs than playstations, the gap is closing and has been for quite some time... most of the xboxs sold are to replace thier shotty hardware that hs crapped out.
Long story short, there really arent that many more. There are more but not like a huge margin...

well I believe if it goes somewhere it would go to the ps3, Since sony is the first one to come out with a google TV, plus Google tv it is base on the android os, and Xbox is microsoft, Microsoft=Windows phone 7 the " competition " , you would not give the competition weapons to fight against you!!!
Just to touch on the point about Netflix being on the Xbox "bandwagon"; they had an exclusivity deal originally, then branched off to the ps3 and the wii. Now Netflix is bring diskless steaming to the ps3 along with 1080i output, which the Xbox wont have. It would seem that the ps3 has leapt ahead of Xbox in priority for Netflix.
Sorry to go off topic.

well my friend they updated it it now is 1080p with 5.1 surround( the first with it)
No need for google tv, if you have a ps3. short of the apps, ps3 already does it all.

But adding Google TV functionality to the PS3 or 360 would be nice
Now your talking. If ps3 would get if its ass and make some improvements to its firmware.

But the PS3 only does..............EVERYTHING! So therefore it would only make since.

What? PS3 has had 1080p output and 5.1 from the beginning. Don't assume because xbox sucks that ps3 sucked too. PS3 has smoked xbox from the beginning, right out of the box. Full web browsing, dlna ready, full hd, bluray, wifi, custom os capable.

yea I know that , what I ment is that Netflix on Xbox ,Ps3 And Wii , it only goes 480p with 2.1 sound, but in 3day ps3 would get the Netflix app, which would stream at 1080p with 5.1 audio, the first system to get it from Netflix
Got it. Seems to me that Sony needs to wake up and keep up. They are making Google Tvs right now, but they should be figuring out a way to incorporate google apps and such into the ps3 firmware. That would be tight.

Well, wouldnt it be good for google tv to spread as much as it can?
Hi guys, I currently have a Droid X which I like very much specifically the DLNA and Xbox 360 sharing features, both of which allow me to wirelessly access my music, photos, and videos from my phone and computer on my Xbox Does the Xoom have this feature or at least does Gingerbread 3.x support it/plan on supporting it?
Also I read in one of the reviews that the miniHDMI out doesn't work directly from the device, rather it needs the dock and then from the dock you go miniHDMI to HDMI on the TV, is this true? (That wouldn't make much sense to me...)
All in all, I have to say I'm excited to be a consumer now-a-days, I'm leaning towards the Xoom, but I do miss certain apps from my Ipad of which there are no GOOD substitutes on android. Specifically, AirVideo which worked like a charm both over wi-fi and 3G and GoodReader, both of which I used religiously. I also hope that Netflix will have an android app soon. Besides that though, I must say if I don't get the xoom, I'm excited to finally start customizing the looks and basic UI, like I have with LP and Desktop Widgets on my Droid X.
Currently the xoom doesn't support dlna. Possibly in the future?
The HD dock is not needed to use HDMI out. Just hook up any micro HDMI cable and it works fine.

Edit: I was wrong. I found an app that works! I'm using 2Player. Give that a try.
Yes it has DLNA ... look for Skifta in the market ... and if you run into any issues use their tech support like i did in this thread http://forums.skifta.com/topic/tablet-support?replies=12#post-1164

Is there an app for viewing Netflix on the Iconia? I tried to view Netflix from the browser and received an error about formatting for this device.

Nothing official from them yet. I've seen a leaked app, but it didn't work on my Samsung Fascinate.
Unless Google comes up with some blanket deal with Netflix, the process for portable devices is device specific:
1. Device must have the proper DRM keys and chipset for adequate streaming & playback.
2. OEM must submit the device for approval and pay Netlfix for the set-up and Netflix server access.
It would be cool if this changed, but Google would have to pay up, since already tons of iPhones, iPad and iPods using the service. LG is the only Android OEM to get Netlfix approval with their Revolution.
You can use Playon Mobile to watch Netflix on your Android device temporarily. You'll have to pay for it though after the trial is done. I think you pay annually and then you get access to PlayOn on pretty much any device the whole time. Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon VOD should work this way.
PlayOn is nice, but less efficient than a straight Netflix app (need to have your host computer on to network off of for PlayOn). Still better than nothing and provides more options for content.
People waiting for a working Netflix app will probably not be happy. OEMs have to pay up and the chipset must be qualified.
i have a netflix app for my G2 which works great. It also worked on my Nook Color. But it doesnt work on my brand new acer. It says my device isnt supported.

The actual Netflix app that stream movies from Netflix, or just the rental management?
android netflix
the app is out and netflix said they are going to add phones/devices
i guess netflix finally figured out that android is the real deal
FYI, I've installed the apk directly on my device and it will not play videos on the A500 currently. You click to launch a video and the screen flickers and then goes back to the page you were on before clicking play.
They have only released Netflix for select phones. Don't even bother trying it on the a500, it won't work.

this was the leaked official app from the LG phone. but like others said, the official release is out now but only supports certain phones.
Yeah, Work's great on my Nexus one hope they release an optimized honeycomb version for A500 soon...
Works really well on my evo. Even the hdmi out is nice. Hopefully netflix will show some tablet love soon.
I suspect the problem is with the tegra and not the os. It may not be optimized to be decoded on our tablets yet, but I guess software may be a limitation also. Does the optimus 2x have a netflix app? That might be more useful for us to try if it does...just a thought?
There's been a work around that can get it to work w/ other non-supported devices posted over at android police (would post link, but I don't have enough posts under my belt). Haven't tried it yet, so no idea if it works for the A500.

I tried the work around. No dice. Tried both build props for HTC vision and Nexus S. Worked on my G tablet running CyanogenMod 7 though.
It does not work on the gTablet that uses Froyo, either.
Netflix is SUPPOSED to be device specific, but there has already been hacks for Droid X (certain rooted roms it works). Folks that should be ticked are official rom users that own bloatware infested devices that use Blockbuster.
Blockbuster bloated devices will probably "never" see official support for Netflix, but rooters might luck out.
Netflix works great on my Incredible, but it is an officially supported device.

Well....the blockbuster infected Evo was added to the list yesterday....so I wouldn't give up.
For those that have a subscription there are options, but as mentioned it does require a host computer

likely note, however I do believe the bbc have a HTML5 version for the ipad so this will likely be ported soon enough
I hope they'll do an HTML5 version for Android. The one currently on PS3 is fantastic and doesn't stutter videos like flash used to.
I was able to use Iplayer under Jelly Bean restoring Flash Player from Titanium Backup and installing Iplayer from an apk I've extracted from my ICS phone.

Hi ?,
Just download MX Player from the Google play store or any other website. Trust us, it is better than most other video players(including the Samsung one you wanted ?).
