Amongst all the excitement this week over the release of the Nexus 9 tablet from Google, there is another device that should start landing in consumers’ homes soon. Android TV is Google latest effort to break into the set top box market after their Google TV effort failed and the Nexus Player is the first entrant for this new platform. Unfortunately, the Google Play Store lists shipping as 2-3 weeks away for new orders. Despite that delay, Google is working to streamline the process for apps intended for the platform to get approval for distribution. One app that is now ready and available in the Google Play Store is the company’s own video platform, YouTube.
Besides enabling Android TV users to access YouTube content on the big screen, this special version of the YouTube app features integration with the Android TV search system. Google also includes recommendations from YouTube that will appear on a user’s home screen.
Anyone out there planning to get a Nexus Player?
