Couch potatoes may soon be able to get a more complete Android app experience without leaving the
living room, or picking up a tablet or smartphone. Myriad's new Alien
Vue is a customizable
OEM platform that enab
les TV and set-top box manufacturers to bring Android to their existing products, adding support for apps designed for
Google TV and HT
ML5.
Myriad is the developer behind
Alien Dalvik, which allows you to run
Android apps on non-Android devices, including
iOS and
MeeGo. Alien Vue brings that concept to the living room, and includes a branded
app store,
web browser and portable device control, letting you control your TV and other home theater devices using a phone or tablet. But unlike Dalvik, it'll be up to manufacturers to add support for Vue -- you won't be hacking your TV and installing the software yourself. We'll be bringing you a full hands-on from
CES, but jump past the break for a quick video demo.
