Toshiba Corp commented on the developmental status of its "Google TV," which has already been reported by some media, at a press conference that took place prior to the 2011 International CES.
Toshiba admitted that it is now considering developing a product based on Google TV, a software platform that was jointly developed by Google Inc, Sony Corp and Intel Corp for TVs.
"Toshiba is not a company that will release such a product ahead of other companies," Shoji Murasawa of Toshiba Visual Products Company of Toshiba said. "So, we would like to take time to discuss how to realize a Google TV by using our strengths. That's why we will not exhibit it at this year's CES."
The company is planning to release its Google TV within fiscal 2011.
