i really like Android but having it running on microwaves, refrigerators, tvs and prety much every electronic sound like a bad idea. Windows=computers, Media players=ipods+Zunes and Android+iphone+smartphones is how its supposed to be

it would be interesting if the remote had a laser that would allow you to click on buttons instead of a d-pad, like on wii.

Or do what just about everyone that i know has been doing for 8 years and hook an old laptop up to your plasma. The only cost is a decent wifi keyboard like a DiNovo

Would love to have a STB like that and be able to control it all via my Droid. Would be awesome to have my whole music collection on there, and have a jukebox app on my phone that controls the tunes on the STB from anywhere I am.

Does this mean we get a pimped out touchscreen remote with tabs that change the key layout for tv/dvd/cable…ect so you dont have 400 buttons on the face and it slides open to reveal a qwerty keyboard when you need to type?

Is this why the Nexus One dock has it’s own bluetooth connection? so that we can control all of our stereo equipment with our phone? assuming our stereo equipment is compatible.

Maybe this can pave the way for TV-video calling to other people too. One request I had for the BT vision set top box was that it notify you when you have an incoming landline call – since it is plugged into the broadband line. If Android can enable you to answer or divert calls while watching TV, that would be great. You’d never have to answer the phone mid way through a film; just to find out it was some telesales company, or your mum asking if you wore your thermal vest because of the snow. All you would do is click a button on your remote, or shout “android divert” / “android answer”, to have the audio blurt out the call/or ring the phone propely. All done whilst it pauses your film or live TV (as with SKY and hard-drive digital recorders). You could even integrate this with Google voice and the google voice recognition software. Job Done!!!
