Google I/O second day has just ended, and there are bunch of new announcement by Google yet again. We’ll hopefully be able to look through all of them one by one. The first that we’ll be looking is the Google TV. Google TV didn’t actually go through a good launch last year, but Google isn’t giving up, and has slightly revamped the UI of Google TV. It now resembles Honeycomb quite a lot actually, because it’s based on it.

The new icon layout should make getting back to live TV a simpler process, while there’s also that large space above for widgets and support for notifications. Developers will be able to run their ADBs on devices later this summer, but prior to that it will have a “Fishtank” program for some developers to take home their internal test units to run apps on now — no hardware modification necessary.

The team also just announced that the source code to the existing Google TV remote app for Android is being open sourced, so anyone who thinks they can do better (it wouldn’t be difficult) can have a crack at building their own. Also available is code for the Anymote Protocol it runs on so developers can make tablet or phone apps that integrate with and control the Google TV

Other features mentioned included support for 3D, and game controllers using Android 3.1′s expanded USB compatibility. There were no product announcements before the session ended, and no word on the rumored and expected ARM base for new products, but the project manager confirmed new product announcements “later this year.” This will be crucial to the pickup of Google TV in the lucrative market.

The new UI will be released later this year.
