Google TV broke my heart. I try not to set high hopes for technology ... I made a mistake with Google TV. If they had released an app store from the get-go, maybe that could have saved it. The crappy controllers, the fact that many content providers blocked them, the price tag were all nails in the coffin. Here's the thing ... building a consumer product is very different from releasing code on the Internet. Google does the latter extremely well ... I am shocked at their performance on the former. When you pay a few hundred bucks for something, you want it to work properly. I don't care if it will work great after a year's worth of update. I paid for it now ... I want it to work now. Also, I don't care if they aren't the ones making the badly conceived hardware ... from the consumer's standpoint, the product = software+hardware. End of rant. Btw ... this is pent up rage from having a Nexus One phone die on me in less than a month as well as Google TV. I use a Nexus S phone now ... far superior, but I feel I simply burned the $$$ for my other product purchases.
