Thanks for the URL. I adding myself to their mailing list. But what will the user input be like? Placing a stone via the TV remote won't be fun.

It's running Android and allows access to Android Market Apps... so I guess the first step would be just marking the app as runnable on that device (otherwise it would not be shown in the market); a second step that involves a little more work would be a version adapted to the specifics of that device (screen size, resolution, viewing distance, input methods). Maybe there will be a scale-up functionality, similar to (old) iPhone apps on iPad. I guess a lot of people will drop their all-purpose computers in the next few years. Time over for the old, grey, loud, time-for-administration-and-upgrading-eating, big box. |

I am more than willing to do this for things of value. That does not include computer maintenance. If computer maintenance is a hobby for itself than you need a device capable of that. But that is going to be a nerd hobby. There is a reason why you only get notebooks in electronic stores today. For most people a device that works and goes to service when it does not is the much better choice than an all-purpose computer that needs knowledge and time for self-maintenance. |

If there were a way to do it with coordinates, via a virtual keyboard, that might work. You only need half the letters... |

Logitech is making one of the first of the Google TV boxes. Since they are a peripherals company I am sure they plan a host of add on devices. I think a track-pad build into your La-Z-Boy arm rest would work, or a wireless presenter mouse. The WII stick is essentially that. Or your phone or android pad used as a track pad. |

I fail to see what is so special about this. What is the advantage of this "new" technology over just connecting your TV screen to the PC? I have my TV connected to my PC. Connecting a Wii mote to the PC allows me to use this setup while stilling on the couch. I can play Go this way, brows the web, watch TV, even do those things simultaneously. |

I've had KGS on my HDTV for a while. I'll watch some KGS Plus lectures on it. Once I ran a tournament from it, so I could have multiple games open and another person at the house watching it. I think it worked out pretty well. |

I broke my netbook screen a few weeks ago, so unless I use my also-wonky laptop, I ONLY have KGS on my TV. =D Still, options are always good. |

The main advantage is that KGS can automatically delay time intervals on 3rd and 10. |
