I recently purchased a Sony Bravia TV that comes with Internet capability built in. It supports a number of internet capable widgets and web video streaming apps for sites like youtube, twitter & various yahoo! offerings. I'd like to hack on the SDK, but the only version I can find is Japanese.
Is there an English version of the SDK? Where can I find some tutorials/examples?
I don't think they released the SDK outside Japan. You might have good chance with Chrome and its built in Google Translate to navigate your self into the Japanese documentation.
Check out this site: http://www.geekpage.jp/web/AppliCast/ (Japanese.) It has examples, links and other items that look useful.
Take a look at this specification https://dlx.jp.sonystyle.com/dlx/nws/vgc/taiken/applicast/AC-JavaScriptAPISpec.pdf, hope it helps you.
