Thanks for the link. It looks good, but I would like a full-size, wireless keyboard. With the old WebTV, all you had to do was change channels and you were back on regular programming provided by whatever cable service you were with. This looks the same, only you might have to contract specifically with Google TV’s service which is an unknown factor in my book. According to the industry, consumers have been craving the integration of TV and the net for a long time, but I always thought they already had it with WebTV and wondered why it disappeared. WebTV was limited, though, no apps like word docs, etc., which I find necessary in my work. But Sony/Google seem to have solved that problem.
It’s definitely worth looking into. If they can also integrate broadband access and customer-specific cable TV content into one cheap monthly bill, that would be good. And instead of having workstations all over the house for everybody, all you should have to do is pick up the nearest keyboard and go to work on one of the house TVs. And different people should be able to access the net independently and simultaneously on different TVs throughout the house, or it’s a no-go, as far as I’m concerned, or you’ll have kids monopolizing it all night while others are waiting to use it, or vice-versa. If you live alone, this wouldn’t be a problem, but that would narrow their market to singles. I would be surprised if they hadn’t addressed that.
