After the first versions of Google TV have disappointed many customers, Google has its mind set on impressing clients with updated products as the company took more time to review its software.

The earlier-mentioned software was the main drawback of Google TV, consumers thought it was too complicated and something they weren't used to using.

However, at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas which is to take place next month, brands such as Sony, Vizio and Samsung are in line to showcase their additions to the Google brand.

The Financial Times reported Google as saying:

"We are very happy with the launch of Google TV with our initial partners.

"Our long-term goal is to collaborate with a broad community of consumer electronics manufacturers to help drive the next generation TV watching experience."

Google decided not to mention any other manufacturer names but what the company did say was that it was keen on "working with other partners to bring more devices to the market in the coming years".

An improvement is expected, as consumers have experienced difficulty with using the web via Google TV.

Also another criticism is that both Sony and Logitech versions of Google TV required keyboards as remotes while the Apple TV box remote control had only three buttons, which made it much more user-friendly.
