Samsung TVs to Get Android Soon?

Samsung, already the leader in the HDTV segment, seems to have its plans ready to ensure it doesn't lose its grip over the market any time soon.

The company is apparently gearing up to introduce Android powered TV's in to its lineup in the near future. While Samsung has already tried its hand at "connected" TVs earlier (complete with Internet connectivity and browsers), Android laden TVs of the future would obviously be a league of its own - thanks to its more intuitive UI and the possibility of apps and games developed specially for large screened TVs. While connected TVs have always been "cool", there has been little commercial success seen in this from - until now that is. 

Samsung's competitors including Sony and LG too are again concentrating on the next generation of "connected" TVs. The idea is basically to make the television an entertainment hub and almost PC-like with it not being limited to watching soaps or movies. 

It would be interesting to see if these new Android based TVs manage to make an impact.
