Looks like New York's the place to be tonight, especially if you're an Android fan looking for a Google TV built by Sony - the company has just announced the "Sony Internet TV", which will be available in four sizes: 24", 32", 40", and 46", priced at $599.99, $799.99, $999.99, and $1,399.99 respectively. While each model does offer unique specs (all of which are listed in the press release at the end of this post), all will come with:

Google TV built in

four HDMI input ports alongside four USB inputs

a 1080p LED display (with the exception of the lowest-end 24-inch model, which will feature a plain CCFL backlit LCD panel, with the 1080p resolution remaining unchanged)

an Intel Atom processor

access to the Android market in early 2011

Sony also announced that users will be able to control their Internet TV with the RF QWERTY keyboard (pictured above) as well as with an Android app that will be available from the Market "later this fall."

Finally, to put it in the words of Apple CEO Steve Jobs, the company announced one more thing - a $399 Blu-ray Disc Player, which will offer only one HDMI input port and the same four USB ports, although with the addition of an HDMI output port. Still, I think it will be a nice way to get into the whole Google TV ecosystem without spending too much, as well as a worthy competitor to Logitech's recently announced Revue box.

All four HDTVs as well as the Internet TV Blu-ray Disc Player will be available at Sony Style stores this weekend - if not, you can hit up your local Best Buy store starting October 24 to buy one as well. Personally, I'm not too sure about that ultra-nerdy keyboard, and the concept of being able to access the Internet from your HDTV is nothing new, but hey - if nothing else, those prices aren't all that steep, especially if you were already in the market for a new TV set.
