Soon, the Google Android operating system will be found on more than just cell phones.

As Android Guys previously reported, Motorola is producing a TV set top box for KDDI, a Japanese telephone and broadband service provider. The device is expected to be on display at CEATEC, Japan’s largest electronics show to be held during October.

Au Box, as the new technology is to be called, will allow users to take their music and video content with them. The box lets users play or rip a CD and either store the music or transfer it to a mobile device or portable media player via a USB cable. The box also allows users to upload and transfer video files.

Music files can be played by the device through its integrated stereo speakers. The box also plays DVDs.

Since Android was developed for the mobile phone, there has been talk of the technology expanding to Netbooks, set-top boxes, TVs, voice over IP phones, digital picture frames and karaoke machines.

The Open Embedded Software Foundation, made up of Japanese companies that plan to use Android for reasons other than mobile phones, includes ARM, KDDI, Japan Cable Laboratories, Alpine Electronics and Fujitsu Software technologies.
