Net TV, coming to a livingroom near you

Japan electronics giant Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., which markets products under the Panasonic brand overseas, has announced plans to introduce Internet-ready plasma TVs in North America in the spring that will allow users to directly browse videos on YouTube and photos in Google-based web albums.

“This is the first time mainstream consumers will be able to easily enjoy YouTube videos from the living room with the enhanced quality of a fully integrated widescreen TV experience,” said Matsushita Electric Industrial Co.

Rival Sony Corp. also announced that from this spring it will launch televisions offering access to free Internet video content from providers including AOL, Yahoo, Sony Pictures Entertainment and Sony BMG Music.

We are eagerly looking forward to the day when someone will be announcing a JAPUNDIT-ready TV.

    Nice.

    So… when can I get live Japanese TV stations in New Jersey? Been looking for years, but no can do.

    I’m thinking about getting someone there to set me up with a slingbox-type setup.
