Video: Youtube Sony Bravia Internet Widget

Here is a short video overview of Youtube in its Bravia Internet Widget form, found on certain Sony televisions and Blu-ray players (such as the BDP-N460) that support this feature. It’s a pretty cool service, enabling you to enjoy Youtube content just like the website. I was impressed with the overall speed of the service, and found that searching was easy to do with the remote. The video playing while choosing other videos is something that differentiates this service from the competition, along with the implementation of Cross-Service Search. Unfortunately it seems that Sony and other companies who have implemented Youtube playback are not offering YoutubeHD at this time, but it could happen down the road, and be a feature that doesn’t require new hardware.
