The Google TV update that rolled
out to Sony units earlier this
week (no word on the Revue,
yet) brought tweaks to Chrome
and support for Blu-ray 3D
playback on the player, but that's
not all. The bump to Android 3.2
also improved hooks for
developers to access channel
listings in their apps, enabled
hardware acceleration and last
but not least, improved support
for HTTP Live Streaming. That last
detail is particularly important to
those streaming video from their
PCs using Plex, since additional
HLS tweaks were necessary to
allow viewing of files transcoded
from otherwise-Google TV
unfriendly formats. Also
supported as in the Plex update
is selection of alternate audio
streams, subtitles, more channels
and a few other fixes. Check out
a Google+ post from Les Vogel of
the Google TV team for all the
Honeycomb 3.2 (API Level 13)
details you can stomach, the Plex
blog for more info on its
software, or just make sure
you're running the latest
updates and take a look around
yourself.

The State of Delaware has bust
out a grant of $920,000 for
DuPont's obsessed project to
bring OLED TVs to the masses.
It's building a facility at the Stine-
Haskell Research Center in
Newark with the chemicals-giant
stumping $30 million out of its
own back pocket. The new unit
will employ 35 people to
investigate the possibility of
producing Organic Light Emitting
Diodes for use in televisions for a
fraction of the current cost. In
comparison, the OLED TVs we
saw at CES could retail for as
much as $10,000, enough to
make sure you don't ask
Grandma for one next Christmas.
The line will be used to test the
" spray printing" methods that
can print a 50-inch TV in under
two minutes we saw in 2010.
DuPont's obliged to keep the
facility open for five years, or it'll
expect angry civil servants to
storm the building looking for a
million dollars worth of
stationery in return.
