Google.. they started with a search engine… then the Android phones.. they revolutionized email with WAVE.. then Chrome OS now they’re creating Google TVs. Word is finally out that channel flipping just isn’t efficient enough for today’s society. They’re also dealing with the complexity of connecting our laptops to our televisions via hdmi (that was sarcasm if you didn’t catch it). So lets get to it.

What does Google provide that our current televisions don’t?

First Google brought its first innovation to our television: The Search Engine

You can search any channel, movie, tv show, even video clip and itll do its magic and search the your channel listings and the web (The magic combination of your cable provider, Hulu, Youtube, and any website that plays videos) Even Amazon VOD!

Second it gives you a Home Menu

Sure your television shows you the company’s logo doing its own little dance but does yours include applications, recordings, netflix and more?? I THINK NOTTT

APPS, APPS, and more APPS

The android market has reached over 50,000 applications for their platform which some (NOT ALL) can be updated to work on Google TV (that can be a gaming market if they play they’re cards right)

Third the Net comes to you Set.

Full internet capabilities come with your Google TV experience. Yup that means Everything. Bookmarks can be viewed on the home screen similar to the Chrome Browser.

Wifi, Ethernet, Keyboard, and a pointing device comes included

How many televisions come with all that included? ( I cant really think of any, I keep thinking of a PC)

There’s more features to this miracle of a device but those are the prominent ones I believe will make or break the decision of getting one. Of course these televisions will probably break your wallet merciless but there are alternatives. If you can get off the couch for two seconds, you’ll find out the hdmi cable coming with your laptop can connect straight into the television. You can get a wireless keyboard and most for optimal use or just get the Airmouse app if you have an iphone/ipad/itouch.  If you want to see this for yourself check out the youtube video below

Hey Google, if you really want more customers (like they don’t have enough already) invest in XBMC. Integrate that in your Google TV and your surely be swimming in green, literally.
