poor sony and others, where are you? no smart tv from japan? i hope japanese smart tvs won't be as dumb as most japanese cell phones without android, where you need about 10 key presses to get to the messages box or to set a wakeup alarm.

They better hurry, and they better hope they do indeed get Google's platform on it. Once Apple launches its smart TV and people realize that all their Apple gadgets are compatible and you can run via AirStream (or whatever it's called where you can play music to your speakers, print, send images, etc. wirelessely, it'll be once again a case where everyone else is trying to catch-up with spin-offs.

The worst part about smart TVs and such rivalries, though, is that your going to be limited by the TV and companies they are tied to, and won't be able to access some of the things your neighbour's TV will if you have a different brand (and vice-versa). Needless to say, Apple will be the superior product, but hey! :)

Apple the superior product LOL just comparing the Samsung Galaxy to the Iphone, Galaxy is better in every way. & Samsung is expected to pass Apple as the worlds biggest smart phone maker this year & Android also being the most popular OS, only way for Apple to go is down.
