Google will be rolling out the new Google Instant over several days.

Google Instant is an enhancement to the Google Search that shows results as you type. With Google Instant users will be getting instant & faster search results. The thinking behind Google Instant is that the research shows that people type slowly and scan fast, so while the users are typing they can scan the results shown and choose the most appropriate out of that.

The most obvious change is that users get to the right content much faster than before because one don’t have to finish typing your full search term, or even press “search.” This has been there in various search engines and many others are using this from a long time.

The benefits to this is that the users get instant, faster and more accurate search results. This will certainly help users in searching and most of all choosing the right keyword to get appropriate results.

Google came up with a new product in May called Google TV. The main aspect that Google associated with Google TV was the developer ecosystem,  apart from viewing the TV programs you can also Internet TV Application built using Google Mobile OS, Android.

Google is not offering hardware platform like AppleTV or Microsoft Mediaroom, instead, Google has partnered with electronics giant Sony on the hardware side. Google TV launches in the fall inside a new line of Sony TVs, so let’s look at what we can expect to see.

Both Google and Sony has benefited from this deal.

The Google TV is built on the Android platform so it will rely heavily on the Google Chrome browser. With lot more things coming up down the line Google surely wants to take the TV experience to a different level. With Google TV one can watch Photo Slideshow, play games, listen to music and more.

Google will release the Google TV SDK and web APIs for TV. This will enable developers to build applications, which will then be distributed through Android Market.

So wait for the next generation TV and enjoy the new experience.
