LAS VEGAS - Japanese electronics giant Panasonic is to bring to market three new Android tablet computers - a 4-inch, a 7-inch and a 10-inch - that allow users to search for content and with a flick of a finger send that content to their living room TV.

At the CES today Panasonic said that TV is becoming closely aligned with the internet cloud and it plans to provide the accessories that integrate the cloud into people’s digital lifestyle via their television.

Panasonic’s Rich Burchell revealed that the company is launching a new Viera Connect platform that as well allows users to download and play hi-definition games minus a controller. “We’ll be using cloud computing and no controller is needed. We’ve as well developed a wireless game pad that along with the health and fitness accessories can be bought directly from the Viera Connect Market via your TV.”
