There were being two essential developments previous yr that could have experienced a positive affect on the profits of Google Tv set.
To start with, Logitech dropped the value of their Google Television Revue box from $249 to $99 generating the gadget substantially additional reasonably priced and 2nd, the Honeycomb update was rolled out that introduced some preferred Android Applications to your Google Television set.
Logitech or Google aren’t indicating how lots of Google Television models have they offered so considerably but the Android Market does give some hints in that way. The logic is simple.
Android Apps are now accessible on Google Television set and some of these apps – like The Big Photo, Plex and Redux – have been produced exclusively for the Honeycomb model of Google Television set. If you glimpse at the put in foundation of these applications (the figures are accessible in the Android Industry), you can get a rough concept of how well-liked Google Tv truly is?
A easy Google search – web page:market.android.com intitle:google tv set – reveals most of the Google Television particular applications that are currently accessible in the Android Industry.
Some Google Tv set applications – like Twitter, Photos, Pandora and Napster – are factory-mounted and therefore there install numbers could be about the exact same as the total quantity of Google Tv set units that have been delivered (taking into consideration the reaction to Google Tv set, these install figures of 500k-1m are unbelievable however). Also, if you seem at the 30-day set up history of these apps, it is clear that Google Tv set wasn’t a strike all through the recent holiday season.
The other set of Google Tv set apps – like CNN Revenue, All Recipes or The Big Photo – are certain to Android 3.1 and have an put in foundation involving 10k – 50k. This is purely unscientific but because persons who have upgraded to Honeycomb are extremely possible to check out at the very least one of these well-known apps on their Television set, my guess is the full selection of active Google Tv set consumers would also be in the very same 10k – 50k range.
