Apple TV is meant to be a media browsing and consumption device, whereas Google TV includes Chrome(with Flash).

You can use an Android phone to control Google TV anyway.

I would love to see Apple solving the problem with typing using a remote(especially things like URLs) without using resorting to an iPhone or iPod Touch.

They already solved it; you aren't supposed to be typing URLs while laying on your couch watching TV.


Yes. "You aren't supposes to..." seems to be the subtext with apple. You get a great experience when you buy everything from them and color within the lines. That doesn't make it THE way to run a superior company, but it is A way to do so.


> without using resorting to an iPhone or iPod Touch

Why not? You have iPod/iPhone in your pocket, or iPad on your coffee table. They can be used to look something up, and with AirPlay you can send content to TV once you find it.

No, I don't. Do I need to buy one to search?
