We previously reported that Sony would be unveiling their Google TV powered by Android on October 12th, but Engadget was onsite at a Best Buy press conference and noticed that a 46" model of Sony's Google TV was already sitting out on display, asking to be photographed.

Engadget managed to find out the television's model number, NSX-46GT1, which is the same as we saw mentioned in the coverage of the announcement for the October 12th unveiling.

In addition, the model on display had a USB Wi-Fi dongle inserted in the back, and a Dish Network receiver. Not on display were peripherals that many have been expecting, like a keyboard or remote control. The Logitech box was also apparently not on display.

Head on over to the gallery at Engadget for more photos of the television.

Phandroid adds that the television will feature "integrated search across internet and TV listings, web browsing, and everything else that sets Google TV to be the next big thing in the living room"

Have a look at the video below to get a better idea of what Google TV is about:
