Regarding the name "Honeycomb", the press releases say Google TV 2.0 (because you are right, it is nothing like a tablet).

Regarding search, it can now search the media player (if you turn it on in settings) and Amazon VOD and Netflix, which it could not before.

The possible game changer is if in the future, someone makes a killer app that adds something great that people want, you can now get that from the Market (unless you have a Revue, but it will get an update someday). That potential could increase sales.

Yeah, but I know I've heard it called Honeycomb and there's even a honeycomb pattern as one of the stock wallpapers.

As far as the movies, my point was that there's a bunch of stuff in there, but it's not really clear until you actually select something and try to rent it, where exactly it's coming from. Not a big deal, maybe it's actually a good thing, but it's just a little confusing at first.

I bought my GTV the day it hit the shelves in the Sony store and would love to see it take off. I just don't have a ton of faith that someone is actually going to pick up the ball and make those killer apps. It's a chicken/egg thing; you need the apps to get the audience, and you need the audience to get the apps. And nobody is doing the work to properly market this thing.

We shall see.

Ok, I have to take back everything I said about the lack of apps. I'm not sure what I was looking at yesterday, but there are actually quite a few available.

Dont know if this was mentioned before, so forgive me if it was. Anyone looking to force update your sony google tv should crash something in the OS and send a report to Google. I crashed Google Chrome and 5 minutes later my TV wanted to install the update. Give it a try and report back. Hopefully it wasnt just a coincidence.

Finally! For those still waiting for their update, I did a factory reset and my update appeared at the setup menu. Also, I usually use wifi to connect to the web but for an update I used a Ethernet cord. Give it a shot!

Sony actually has the file on their support site but still says you have to wait for the OTA to get it...

Sony eSupport - NSZ-GT1 - News & Alerts

The person you quoted was wondering about the Revue (not the Sony like you have). It would be a bad idea to try to load Sony software on a Revue. Also, it is better to wait for the OTA than try to load a Sony file.

Revue has not officially been pushed the update yet, so the person quoted most likely was lying.

I seriously doubt that which state or which region we live in within the US will have any effect on the timing of the update.

Got mine today once I got power back here in Hartford CT after 6 days....If you do a factory reset it will push the update to you automatically.
