Google just announced its odd Google Media Server, a Windows app that finds pics, music, and video and makes it available to DLNA devices like the PlayStation 3, XBox 360, and most Media Center Personal computers.

Google Media Server is a Windows application that aims to bridge the gap between Google and your TV. It uses Google Desktop technology such as Desktop gadgets for the administration tool and Google Desktop Search to locate media files. All you need is a Personal computer running Google Desktop and a UPnP-enabled device (e.g. a PlayStation 3). At the touch of a button, you can then:

* Access videos, music, and pics stored on your PC
* View Picasa Web Albums
* Play your favorite YouTube videos

This shows that Google is very interested in getting its message out across multiple platforms. With the launch of Android forthcoming, could the Google set-top box be next?
