Last I heard - the google TV team is working with manufacturers even more
than the Android team... so I doubt they'll drop it.  And I have only GOOD
things to share about it - not one complaint yet.  :)

The Netflix interface is actually quite good.  The initial release was not
great - but they released a patch and now it's very boxee-ish... good stuff
indeed.

Lastly - keep in mind that GoogleTV receives updates - and Google never
forgets about early-adopter hardware partners.  What I mean is this - the
GoogleTV OS is due for an update in spring that will bring the Android
market and apps to it.  That is HUGE.  You're going to see innovation like
never before for you STB.  (Boxee apps suck compared to what you can do with
Java, etc.).  On top of that, if you get a Revue or similar box, I guaruntee
you Google will be proactive in updating it with the Logitech team - they've
already released one update in response to users...

I'm VERY excited to see where GoogleTV goes - mostly because the goog
actually has the money to move something somewhere rather than simply being
an OSS startup.
