As anticipated Canonical has finally demonstrated version of its popular Ubuntu Linux OS that can be used for running TVs at the Consumer Electronics Show 2012 Event. Presently, The company is displaying a prototype unit, called the Ubuntu TV.
Ubuntu TV offers easy integration of online and broadcast services, and applications, allowing users to search, record, buy, rent and playback.
With Ubuntu TV Users will not only be able to watch cable and over-the-air television shows, but, thanks to some built-in computational ability, also offer a user interface to allow viewers to pull video from the Internet, run applications and peruse channel guides more easily.
Canonical has plans to court manufacturers such as Sony and LG who can adopt Ubuntu as a base for their own smart television sets and to offer a wide range of processor-embedded consumer devices.
While Ubuntu TV is still in the development stage, we can expect lots of interesting products from Canonical in the year 2012
