Matsushita Electric to launch a TV that can access YouTube

data.jpeg Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. will sell televisions in the U.S. that can access YouTube, reports Bloomberg, riding on the popularity of a site where more than 100 million videos are viewed daily.

"The company will start sales of the Internet-connected televisions this spring. Users can also access Picasa Web Albums, Google's online photo-sharing program, on the TV sets.

... Matsushita will consider selling the new plasma televisions in Japan or Europe if there is demand, spokesman Akira Kadota said by telephone, without providing a timeframe.

The company and Google have jointly developed equipment to show Internet video clips clearly on large TV screens, he said."
