This idea of Google TV is really impressing. For me, combining the TV and internet is a great way to enhance the TV in living room. In fact, people had started to put a PC in living room that serve as the HTPC (Home Theater PC). For me, the problem of HTPC is you will need to have a mouse and keyboard at your living room, which make the HTPC look more like a PC than a Home Theater system. One thing very important in HTPC is the user interface, where user can easily navigate through all the menus, settings, and how a remote (either IR remote, or wireless radio remote) can easily control the whole HTPC that you don’t need a keyboard and mouse. So, let’s wait and see how Google TV will or will not conquer the living room.
Very nice idea..
