New York: Google has asked some television-set makers to delay the launch of TV sets based on the internet company's software, says a media report. "Google is asking some TV-set makers to put off announcing hardware based on the internet company's software," The Wall Street Journal reported citing a source. The report noted that Google sent out a note to some hardware makers last week, asking them not to announce additional products yet. The delay may allow the company to improve its software while possibly trying to address other problems the Google TV effort faces. Despite the challenges, Japanese firm Samsung would go ahead with its launch of Google TV products at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in early January, the report said citing a source. The initial Google TV devices are offered by Sony and Logitech International SA.
