I believe that the best course of action for Google TV longevity is create a version that can be installed on PC’s. Enthusiasts and hobbyists will push the technology, create apps, and potentially help shape it’s future. Manufacturers can continue to include “approved” versions of the software on their devices. This model leaves no one out, fosters growth, and generates continued discussion on the product.

If I were my say, i would ask to decouple googleTV from devices & make it down-loadable, so that user can buy their own h/w (computer with proper video card and
tv/tuner). And provide the following:

a. Free EPG
b. user’s preferences
c. web/pic/video or anything else viewable on TV
c. DVR
d. online streaming (like slingbox)
e. iphone/smartphone based remote

etc..

I know, boxee does lots of this things; but not everything. Now if someone wants Revue or sony, that’s his/her choice.

You made some valid suggestions for improvement but please, don’t suggest that Google TV follow Digg 4.0 and make twitter and Facebook a core part of the experience. I just can’t understand why companies think Facebook friends are going to have your tastes. Perhaps teens look forward to hearing about what’s hot from Facebook and Twitter but I have no desire to hear what Aunt Matilda or my bosses sister think are great TV shows. I am sick to death of being force fed the “wonders” of social media. I have no desire to get a Facebook page or listen to the banal drivel of Twitter.

Is there not a user profile option? Like in XBMC or Boxee? I haven’t had the chance to play with a GTV yet, but I find it hard the believe they overlooked the fact that multiple people watch the same TV!

I don’t know whether some of those options are even *possible*. You talk about killer apps, and chord cutting – but Google has always wanted to revolutionize an industry, not completely destroy and take industry over!

What kind of killer app could the GTV have? I can think of only two kinds. The first – A cloaking app so people can view online media without being blocked. The second – games, but as you yourself said, this is not an Iphone.
