That’s funny because if you ask me, I think mobile web will fail.

Who the hell wants to create another version of your website just for mobile use?
Who also wants to view a page on a tiny screen?
I see portable bluetooth touchscreens as what we’re going to be using for internet through a phone.

Most people who I talk to that have mobile websites have to do about 100 times more traffic to get the same income compared to their non-mobile version of the same site.

The only time I really enjoy surfing the internet using my phone is when I plug my phone into my netbook and use my phone as a modem to connect to the internet.

I think Google TV will be a big hit. Who wouldn’t surf using a bigger screen than your computer?
Now I can understand that a lot of add-on boxes have failed so I don’t see this taking off till more people buy TV’s that have Google TV/Android already built into the TV, or even Cable companies embracing the technology and putting it into their Cable TV boxes. It’ll happen if Google does this right.

Although not perfect (though it is improving quickly), you can sling live TV to any IP enabled device. Sling now makes a dongle that plugs into the USB port on your set-top-box that allows you to view live or recorded (DVR) TV on a phone, laptop or iPad. DISH actually has one set-top-box in market, the 922, that has this functionality built in. Works pretty good.

A Have Been Following This With Excitment See Steve Jobs Dig At Google Means Nothing Apple And Otheres Might Have Edge On Iphones Or Ipads Now But A Think Google Tv Will Be Power Full Stuff – We No There Are Loads Ov Web Tv Sites But We Are Talking About One Platform A Think It Will Be Bigger Than Ipad And Iphone Steve Jobs Totlely Forgot About All These Tv Schools Buy And People For There Bedrooms Ect So Ye People Are Tight But When It Comes To Various Form Of Entertanment There Not !

When Jobs starts panicking, it means Google is really gonna do that.

Well, I think as all other google ventures, this will also be a successful hit… I Love GOOGLE…

I am looking forward to Google tv i really can not see it failing.

Google is great by leading the world of innovations. Nice job! I think they are also going to create lots of opportunities for web designers, marketing companies, hardware manufacturers, software developers, etc. This will infact increase the internet audience which by the end of the day will lead to a broader audience and broader market.

Just as Google Earth was a revolution on its time, and still is in many wait unexploited, Google TV is going to take the world by surprise. Even in old CRT TV sets they are going to love it.

Think about it, who wants to be on a chair all the day if you can be on your living room in your sofa?
Who wants a small netbook anyway with a charger and a heavy mouse if you can have your TV which is all day on… think about it.

This is a revolution for the TV which not anymore can be called the idiot box.

I’m Pablo Zacheo from Uruguay so excuse my english mistakes.

I think i would agree with Steve Jobs as i also believe unless Google TV has a serious gimmick or offers a major technological stride forward it will struggle because know one is prepared to pay for a set top box! Then again if they can in the future offer it in the PlayStation etc and throw enough money it may just take off!

Apple trying to even suggest that it belongs in the same industry, let alone league, as Google is pretty ridiculous imo. Unlike Google, whose services have enormous mass appeal, Apple just make toys and novelties – iMacs, iPods, iPads, iPhones – that generally appeal to a specific market; namely people who think that owning an Apple product makes them somehow more hip than, for example, someone with a Windows PC or a Blackberry. In other words Apple are today, what Nike sneakers were in the 1980s.

If Apple made their own version of Google TV you could rest assured that it was cost three times as much and developers would not be free to develop apps for it without getting the blessing of the Apple gods first. And pretty much every service would cost extra. In short, it would be a disaster.

Whereas Google will simply bring the enormous customer base and goodwill it already enjoys and combine it with that of its partners, particularly Sony, one of the largest consumer electronics firms on the planet.

In fact, one idea put forth in this article I never even considered, is that of merging this technology with Playstation. I’m now imagining the next generation PS as a Google TV enabled device combined with games console and 3D Bluray player. Such a system would torpedo the Xbox and Wii right out of the water and would in fact bring us even closer than ever to the original Nintendo concept of having, not merely a games console, but a full family entertainment centre.

I guess Google Tv is a good idea.

More and more people pass time on front the computer than the Tv due the fact they can pick up what they want in the time they wish. they aren’t clued anymore into shedules.

As many of persons looking Tv on their computer (some search, VLC plugins and it’s all done you have your fav channels on your computer for free)

Sharing and exposure of ourself is in the time too through socialwebsites, blogs….
So i guess well used and well done all those things can mix together as we are allways linked now to the entire world through our computers and cellphone..
The TV was missing now it’s done, future gonna say but it’s just an extend of what’s going on actually.

We are developing our WebTV ( http://www.moon1.tv ) in this way and it’s working pretty well so we are keeping an eye too on the TV development, i’m sure it’s gonna be interesting.

My PC is connected to my TV, but because I chose not to have cable or satellite. I love the FREE content and I am really not interested in paying for something that I can get for FREE, especially with as little TV as we watch.

i have a WD live player which allows to watch Youtube from my couch. I am just eager for more ‘programs’ or channels on my TV…

Yes it would be a great if google’s youtube, and other web video services become available on classic tv and mentioned box sets won’t be an issue for consumers if they could provide wimax or other wireless internet as there is huge demand for internet infrastructure in countries in development and commonly.
And also it could be great advantage if those web tv could have multiple languages translation.
Go google tv!
