I know, I know, TV would definitely be the next battlefield for IT companies, but right now, i can't see any edges google has, Why? look at its core business, Gmail, Calendar, Gdocs, google reader, Chromebook, none of them is perfect, not even good. Google TV i am afraid is another failure product, okay but not great.
Adding android market doesn't help it, on TV, service is way more important than App, we want to subscribe different services to help lifting our experience on TV but not to use apps on a bigger screen! we might want to browse the internet on TV, but website on TV is different from website on desktop, the experiences are totally different and right now, there is so little support for surfing internet on TV. In the next 10 years, i am sure the website should have more than 3 versions: mobile, tablet, desktop and TV, and Google TV, should be focus on how to get people on the TV version's internet.
App is a dying idea, it is outdated as i mentioned before. Service is the new king, if google can't figure out how to add "service" on TV by using android, it will fail. of coz, if google can't polish its UI, it will fail too.
