Riptide GP2 changelog all but confirms Android TV hardware is ready

That Android TV — as in whatever software is will make up Google's next-generation living room play — is imminent was hardly in question as we watch the hours tick by before Google I/O begins. It's coming. What we weren't sure about was whether hardware would be ready for this year's developer conference. (We'd heard whispers to the contrary.) But when Riptide GP prematurely updated its app description this evening to say it's ready for Android TV, well, that just about seals it. (The app description has since been reverted to something a little less revealing.)

So, yeah. Android TV is coming.

Be sure to tune in to our liveblog at 9 a.m. PDT (that's noon EDT), and bookmark our Google I/O page while you're at it.
