AP Joins With Intel’s Widget Channel

AP Joins With Intel

Want the Internet on your TV? It’s perfectly possible, and the Associated Press has joined with Intel’s Widget Channel to demonstrate it at CES.

The news ticker scrolls across the bottom of the television screen and the television viewer chooses which categories of headlines are of most interest, including breaking top news, local updates, business and finance, sports, entertainment and more.

Comcast and Intel are demonstrating the capability of viewers to enjoy Internet services while watching cable TV by integrating the Widget Channel with the Comcast Interactive Program Guide using tru2way technology, a Java-based platform with open API specifications built into televisions, set-top boxes and other devices.

Intel, Yahoo to Build Internet into HDTVs

Intel, Yahoo to Build Internet into HDTVs

At this week’s Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, Yahoo and Intel announced a new initiative aimed at building support for Web-enabled channels directly into high-definition televisions, so Internet-based content (and, no doubt, advertising) can run alongside television programming. The initiative, dubbed the “Widget Channel,” will offer a television application framework developers can use to deploy Internet-based applications designed to be viewed alongside television content. The whole thing will be powered by Yahoo’s Widget Engine, and run on Intel’s new C3100 chips, due in the first half of 2009, that are specifically aimed at consumer electronics devices.
