Vizio announced its Co-Star this week, a Google TV-based set-top box priced at $99. The product aims to compete with the Apple TV media box and similar products from Roku and Sony.
The Co-Star provides access to the Google Play App Store, live gaming, and a Bluetooth remote control with a a touch sensitive trackpad, QWERTY keyboard and game controls. It comes preloaded with Netflix, Amazon Instant Video and iHeartRadio.
The product also features 802.11n support, one USB port, HDMI in/out ports, and an option to use a wired Ethernet cable.
“One big advantage the device has over other Google TV set-top boxes is its support for cloud-based gaming service OnLive, which lets you stream popular video games to other platforms,” reports VentureBeat. “Essentially, this makes the Co-Star a legitimate game console competitor.”
Availability has yet to be announced, but pre-orders start next month. The post features a collection of detailed images.
