Coupled with Dish Network's DVR it's really cool. You can use the powerful Google search to find things you want to record in the future, or search through the terabyte of storage in the DVR. Also the way it can integrate interactive content from the web for the show you're currently viewing is neat.
Without a compatible DVR (Dish is the only one so far) it becomes less useful, only allowing searching of upcoming programs. Without cable it's pretty useless, though it does do Netflix and Amazon, no Hulu (yet).
Google TV is an Android device, it'll have a market place soon. I imagine some apps will be ported quickly (instant messengers on the TV would be kinda cool), others won't make much sense, and hopefully there'll be a whole new class of app that makes the device a real center of entertainment.
I'm considering picking up Dish and their 1TB DVR. Too bad their international packages don't include Romania.
