HP is to include YouTube access in its MediaSmart range of internet-enabled
home entertainment products.
The line-up includes a television, set-top box and a Windows Home Server
system. YouTube will be built in to the set-top box and the MediaSmart TV.
Users will be able to access the service by logging in via remote control.
Videos will be available to browse and view in full-screen, and users will be
able to create video playlists for their TV sets.
YouTube is the most popular video site on the web, and is the biggest name to
be supported by MediaSmart.
Other services available on the HP platform include movie service CinemaNow,
photo site SnapFish and internet radio service Live365.
Carlos Montalvo, vice president of marketing and services at HP's connected
entertainment business, said: "Bringing YouTube to MediaSmart will let users
browse and select a series of videos, then relax and enjoy the show on the big
screen."
YouTube integration has become a major selling point for web-connected
devices. Vendors such as Apple have showcased YouTube players as the centrepiece
for products such as the Apple TV and the iPhone.
