Google TV was anticipated to be released at the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas new month but Google has asked the TV manufacturers of hold fire while they refine their software.

Google TV gives you’re the option of watching internet video via your TV, Google already has signed deals with Sony, LG, Toshiba and others to produce the systems.

There has been much speculation to why Google has delayed the release date with many believing its due to poor reviews. Another major drawback is that in the USA most networks are keeping their programming off Google TV, such as CBS, ABC and NBC.

There is nothing new about the Search Engine Google receiving complaints however one of the latest complaints is so serious that it is being investigated by the European Commission.

The investigation is looking in to whether Google are abusing there position as the largest Search Engine. The complaints have come from legal Search Engine eJustice.fr and Foundem, a price comparison website. They are accusing Google of manipulating its search results, both paid and unpaid, to favour their own services which leaves no room for competition.

In response Google have stated that “We’ll be working with the Commission to address any concerns”. It’s normal for a company to promote its own products and or services but when that company is so powerful and influential it can be seen to restrict competition with does not benefit consumers.
