You're going to be beat to this one by the big guys & their partners (Google TV, for instance). You won't be able to do it as well as they will, especially without device manufacturer partnerships.
- Throwaway53 16y agoI'm not disagreeing, but they are going for the tv. I'm aiming at a laptop/iPad on someone's couch. I may have misunderstood what google tv are doing though.
- DiabloD3 16y agoGoogleTV is a stand alone ARM box that runs Android, but with a special 10 foot interface (instead of a 10 inch interface used on phones). Basically, they're trying to compete with Boxee and XBMC and Apple iTV while offering native Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu apps. Plus, future GoogleTV platforms could be based on existing cable and sat boxes, allowing you to have GoogleTV alongside traditional content. In addition GoogleTV, seeing as it is Android, will have access to the Android App Store, and the Android SDK will be extended to support GoogleTV appropriately. tl;dr: Google is doing to the TV industry what they did to the cell phone industry.
