From hype to has been in the space of a single quarter. Although it’s rumored that Logitech and Sony together will have sold 1-million Google TV-branded devices this holiday season, the platform has been an inglorious flop. However, if you’re still in the mood, I suspect that eBay and Craigslist will be choked with ‘em and soon.
Apparently, two’s company and three’s a crowd. As Apple and Roku announce that they’re both set to cross the 1 million unit sales threshold in coming days, poor Google has forced its Asian manufacturing partners to withdraw planned Google TV announcements at CES.
Apple may be planning to make our lives easier in myriad ways through the use of NFC across all of its computer lines, simplifying our use of computers and the way they interact with devices around them.
Apple has been granted a patent for technology that seriously advances the banner of glasses-free 3D viewing for the masses. Although we should not expect this to be available soon, it is a significant start.

You can stop your gnash, gnash, gnashing of teeth over potential Apple TV shipping delays. If you pre-ordered, it appears that all’s well as the mothership’s begun notifying buyers that orders will soon in the hands of Fedex et al.
No matter what it is that Apple announces, you can be sure that Google will not be too far behind with a similar product. What’s up with this Apple envy? Do Jobs and Schmidt have a side bet?
First it was the long-awaited, and nicely wrought, iPhone application for iOS4. Now, word has it that Apple will be announcing (at today’s event) a set-top box which will allow streaming of Netflix on Apple TV.
Life in the walled garden is beautiful and about to get even more beautifuller with a range of new and updated products from our favorite Cupertino, California-based fruit company. So, what will Steve Jobs “one more thing” be this time around?
How much would you pay for a la carte TV with ability to use your iPad as the ultimate remote? Don’t answer yet, because Apple’s gonna pitch in App Store access and personal photo + video sharing via MobileMe (account sold separately). Now, how much would you pay?!?
