None have so far discussed the efforts publicly.

Google, is currently planning on sharing and advancing some details about the technology with more than 3,000 developers expected to attend its Google I/O conference in San Francisco May 19 and 20 on it. One of the person who is familiar with this thing cautioned the company could also decide to delay discussing it until the technology is more mature. Google uses the annual conference to showcase a range of technologies of interest to developers.

The app-store approach has already begun to gain traction among some players in the TV market, too, aided by the advent of TVs, Blu-ray players and other hardware with Internet connections.

But before developers invest in TV applications from Google company, they'll want to see significant adoption of the software among hardware makers. The dominant player in chips for PCs Intel has been trying for years to play a bigger role in set-top boxes, with its efforts focusing lately around a chip called Atom that is used in low-end laptop PCs called netbooks.

Lets see what will happen then............
