Dropped by Best Buy this weekend and spent thirty minutes browsing the Pre-Thanksgiving store layout.

I was quite surprised by the high profile presence for Google TV. A large dedicated island was front and center in the home theater sector of the store, with stations for the Sony TV and Logitech Revue offerings. Overall I was massively underwhelmed by Google TV and its clear, in my estimation, this product is not ready for prime time.

The software and user interface was not optimized, laggy, and inelegant. Fundamentally It’s fail when your product and platform is dependent upon IR blasters. Product designers and engineers are trying to build a 21st century content delivery and consumption platform yet rest this atop (broken) 20th century technology.
