- Ability to access websites from Turner Broadcasting that are optimized for Google TV
- CNBC Real-Time, a service that gives you access to news information
- HBO is going to offer their HBO GO service via Google TV. Don't get too excited though because you have to be subscribed to HBO via Satellite or Cable in order to have access to this service.
- NBA Game Time will give you score/highlights of games
- Amazon Video on Demand
- Netflix
- YouTube (I would hope so)
Also, Google is working with music providers like Pandora and Napster to give you access to music, and they are working with news sites like the New York Times and USA Today.
It sounds like Google is trying to create an 'open' media platform that content providers can use to sell their products direct to the consumer, at least it seems that is their goal. It will be interesting to see what happens, but it looks like this box will be basically like every other set-top box out there. There is no mention of streaming via SMB or DLNA, so I would guess you will be locked into web only content at this point. I'm not too overly excited about Google TV at this point, but maybe I will be pleasantly surprised.
