Multimedia portable devices company Archos has introduced the Archos TV connect, claimed to be the only multi-touch “Android on TV experience” for your apps and games.

The Archos TV connect turns any HDTV into an Android powered smart TV providing the full Android ecosystem with a specially designed TV Touch remote, says the company.

The TV connect allows you to control your TV just like a tablet – tap, swipe, zoom in, zoom out, select or type. With the TV connect, users will be able to play games, stream videos, video chat in HD, email friends or surf the web all from their big-screen TV.
