Finally putting the rumors and speculations to rest, the official site gives us an insight into what Google TV really is, what it’s meant to be, and how it’ll work. The minisite can take you on a quick tour, let’s you go through the key features and also provides some information for developers and buyers.
The features highlighted on the site are:
