New Panasonic VIERA HDTV will have YouTube button on its remote
If you're tired of watching out-of-focus YouTube videos on your computer screen, now you'll be able to watch out-of-focus YouTube videos on your TV.
Matsushita's Panasonic unit is working with Google to develop high-definition televisions that let you browse and view videos from YouTube and photos from Picasa Web Albums. Google will set up servers for the purpose and the remotes for the TVs will have YouTube and Picasa buttons.
The Panasonic VIERA PZ850 is a line of plasma Internet-connected 1080p high-definition television sets and will be available to users this spring in the United States. It is not clear whether the Google links will be built into all TVs, or be an option.
