Google has announced that Asus will be unveiling a Google TV product at CES 2013, rumored to be the Qube set-top box.

Asus is traditionally known as a PC manufacturer but will join other new partners Hisense and TCL by releasing Google TV products in 2013. Google says existing partners LG, Vizio, and Sony will also have products at the show.

LG has already detailed the Google TV products it will show: the GA7900 and GA6400 televisions, which will feature 3D and an updated Google TV interface.

Google says there are many more apps on the way, the most recent being Amazon Instant released late 2012.

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) will run from January 8 to 11 in Las Vegas and is the world's largest technology show.
