Google connects Android with Google TV in new Youtube app

There's a new app for Android that may not seem like a big deal but could be the launching pad for more interesting things to come that will link Google's mobile platform with its TV platform.

The app links the user's Android phone and Google TV-enabled device together. Then, users search for YouTube videos from the phone to send them directly to the TV.

It doesn't actually create a real connection to the TV itself. Rather, both services connect to the same cloud. So the phone sends the request to your Google Account in the cloud, which Google TV then receives.

Now that TV has crashed through the Internet barrier, the industry needs to look to newer, more interesting forms of connectivity. Samsung has recently done similar stuff with Samsung TVs connected to Samsung mobile phones, mainly for media sharing.
