Yes, we passed on joining the pack reporting the launch of Google TV. In case you missed it, there’s plenty of info on it’s home site. I think the product looks polished, and much more complete than the usual Google “beta”. Most impressive is the stable of content providers Google has been able to assemble. In other words Google TV has incredible potential. Today, Google TV can only be had on a pricey $300 box, and in the near term on TV’s from Sony (whose products also tend to be very pricey).
