Google is reportedly planning to launch Android TV.

In documents obtained by The Verge, Google said that Android TV is an entertainment interface, not a computing platform.

The company wrote that it's all about finding and enjoying content with the least amount of friction and assured that the experience would be nothing less than cinematic, fun, fluid, and fast.

Meanwhile, Google is calling for developers to build extremely simple TV apps for an extremely simple set-top-box interface, the report added.
