Google TV's New Pitch: Let Us Scare the Crap Out of You

Sorry, but this is creepy advertising, playing into our fears of the internet more than the by gone days of television. #FAIL

They created Buzz, the 4th Video just out Today on the Logitech Web Site.

Google TV is the most exciting thing in 2010 & beyond.

HD TV will be the center of our Digital life without PC you could HD Video Calling, Internet: Browsing/Social networking/e-commerce/Gaming, Apps, Media Streaming Videos, pictures,Movies or DVR, etc all without PC

Logitech Revue and waves of input devices and remotes and Apps will change the way we enjoy all of that on a Bigger HD TV Screen.

Check out Logitech announcments, CC and PRs, it could be bigger for them than PC

Yeah… I agree. Kinda weird/creepy. If they’d just put some pants on the TV, it would have made some difference, me thinks.

I agree with Len F – Logitech has always been ad challenged…

Logitech is a PC company, not even a CE (Consumer Electronics) company. Same with Google. It’s going to be very hard for them to change the much-bigger CE industry from the outside in. Especially when Apple is setting the agenda.

The most exciting thing to happen to TV in 2010 was the iPad. What the iPod was to music, the iPad is to video. It is a mobile TV, a true video iPod, not a music player with a little video screen on it. The TV experience is amazing. That was the most surprising thing about it to me. I didn’t buy it for that.

And iPad actually exists, it’s not some future thing that might happen. TV channels as apps is already here on iPad. There is an ABC app, a BBC app, a CNN app, a Hulu Plus app, a Netflix app, a YouTube app, an iTunes app, and more. An HBO app is apparently coming soon. There is an AT&T U-verse app and a Verizon FiOS app has been demoed already. There is an app that will show you any video off your PC, no matter how it’s encoded. And of course, there hundreds of thousands of other apps and also interactive iAds.

If the rumors are true and there is an iPad-for-TV device coming soon from Apple, it will be a very significant event for TV. Apple doesn’t have to create something from scratch like Google does, all Apple has to do is transplant the iPad TV experience onto a living room screen.
