Sony to unveil Google TV in May

In the face of slumping market share, Sony is expected in May to announce HDTVs running Google's Android OS on Intel chips.

The televisions will run the Android operating system on a custom Intel Atom processor codenamed "Dragonpoint", reports Bloomberg. Google's mobile-friendly Android operating system already runs on various smartphones and tablet computers.

Sony and Google are expected to reveal details of the new project at the May 19-20 Google I/O Conference in San Francisco. The two companies are also working with Logitech to develop a wirless keyboard for the televisions that would also act as a remote control.
