While TiVo, Play Station 3, and VuDu offer limited features like Pandora music service, YouTube and ESPN Zone, Google TV literally give the consumer access to 50,000 applications. Sony, which will launch their version of Google TV next week has the Google TV built into its newest HDTV sets, the Logitech Revue will work with almost any TV set, cable or satellite box or AV receiver on the market.

Available accessories will include a TV styled web cam which when used with Logitech VID HD software(free download) can deliver living room video calling in HD without a computer. Logitech Revue has a feature that allows you to watch TV together with friends or family while on a free video call.
The Web TV Cam is $149 and a Logitech mini controller is $129
