Google TV update shown off on video

Last week the upcoming Google TV update was leaked in the form of a whole gallery of screenshots, and not long after that, some video footage of it surfaced as well. A guy named Chris H managed to get a leaked version of Google TV Honeycomb running on his Logitech Revue and posted a 13-minute video about it online. In the video demonstration, Chris shows off a whole plethora of apps running on the Google TV and it looks pretty good – there’s even support for apps like LauncherPro, so you can expect people to release Google TV-based launchers in the future.

All the apps seem to run pretty well even though not having a touchscreen to for onscreen operations (on non-TV optimized apps) wastes quite a bit of time when you have to scroll a lot. Other than that, it looks like the Google TV update really succeeds in bringing the Android tablet experience to your TV screen.

Thanks to Israel for the tip!
