July 7, 2011 Android, Gadgets Comments Off on Not Google TV, but an Android TV..

A famous local HDTV set top / PVR box manufacturer has done it, a build in 42 inch LCD full HD TV with Android 2.2 build in!

Model number 8TV4233, featuring 42 inch 50000:1, 1080p, RGB, VGA, HDMI in X4, USB X 2, DVB-T decode, PVR and the most important, Android OS!!! (Too bad it is on 2.2, I wonder what solution it is gonna use, lets ROOT+OC+Whatsoever it, if source code were EVER released…)

As advertised, the main sale point of this device is the build in browser for Internet browsing with Flash support.
TVB, the leading local TV station, provide TV shows ondemand services by mytv.tvb.com, which uses Flash + encrypted H264 to serve TV Shows, which iOS is missing, there should be a fair amount of users who would like this on a TV.

No word on price or release date yet, but I sure I am interested…
