What's else do we need for Andriod OS to run on TV?
When IPTV or smartphone SoC suppliers start to unvel a chip with HDMI interface output and support up to HD MPEG.4 or H.264 decode. It's time to blur the worlds of smartphone and smartTV?
I think we can call smartTV for TV which can go online and do many other thing as a triple-play terminal at home. As long as you want to go out, just take your handheld "mobileSTB" go with you. You still have voice, video, and data along with you.
There are many IPTV STB SoC cadidates, such as Sigma Design, ST, TI, Intel, Philips, AMD ATI, nVIDIA, Broadcom, IBM, Mavell, 3Dlabs, NEC, Toshiba, even SiS and VIA.
Which can support HD video decode on the TV screen and also portable? That's why Android are not so worry about to support IPTV at this moment. All IPTV middlewares and CA/DRM softwares will port to Android OS eventially.
Which set-top boxes could be the winner? I should say which mobile phone can suppor TV output as a IPTV first?
Don't forget the reason terminate PDAs. Smartphones need a larger screen to be more smart and do more thing. If smartphones can make our TV go on Internet, we don't need IPTV STB anymore.
