“TRANSMISSION BOXES A significant number of Blu-ray players offer Internet connections through nonsmart televisions. By its very existence, of course, a Blu-ray player, which can now be had for less than $100, runs counter to the ethos behind streaming media. The future is not in physical products, but in information delivered seamlessly to the home”
…“What we’re doing here is bringing a Web browser to TV, allowing your TV to access the Internet while you watch shows,” said Salahuddin Choudhary, consumer product manager for Google TV. “This is what I think about when I think about where Internet TV is going.”
This appears to be a solid proposition. By many counts, Google is still working kinks out of its product, and the entire Web-meets-TV experience is not yet all it could be.
Which does not mean it isn’t coming.
“I should be able to watch TV and perform all sorts of activities,” Mr. Choudhary said. “We want you to be able to access any video you want, communicate with your device through speech, stream music, view photos. The sky really is the limit here.”
