Intel and Yahoo team up to create TV widgets
Posted By: Jaiyant Cavale | Aug 21 2008
After the failure of Internet on television, Yahoo revealed that they are working with Intel to create the "Widget Channel," through which you can watch TV shows. Also, a web computer would run alongside the TV shows. Widgets would appear in the corner of the TV screen and these small windows would let you email, read headlines etc. by using a TV remote control. The Widget Channel would run on a new class of Intel chips that would enable high definition audio/video etc. This new product could increase the interactivity and also increase Internet usage. Widgets could be built using Javascript, XML, HTML and Adobe Systems Flash but not limited to them. The first range of these TV may come out in the first half of 2009.
