The infiltration of the Internet into our living-rooms is right around the corner. The two biggest consumer options are Google TV and Apple TV (to a certain extent).

Now, Apple TV got it right. It's a cheap device ($100) and is focused around content sharing in the home.

We've all said that content is king, so why not make it easier to share it, view it, digest it, etc. in your own home more easier than having to rely on cables, SD cards, etc.

Apple TV is a simple hub for content whereas Google TV tries to bring the entire information superhighway into your couch command center. This, of course, is not a new idea with gaming consoles doing it now as well -- Wii, Playstation, XBox, etc. However, where Google TV will fail is on the technology side. They are relying on other manufacturers to create devices that will pimp their software.
