There are headlines circulating about potential improvements to the Google TV platform. This is exciting because Google TV itself is an important and exciting platform.

The talk about fitness integration is what has really made headlines. Roettgers was told by Caruso that fitness is another area worth exploring. This is important for many reasons.

We are all spending more time in front of our TVs so it makes sense to consider Google TV with fitness in view.

It’s good news for us, but not for Google, that the company has a strong reputation in terms of TV integration and fitness. It’s from Apple. It’s impossible to avoid the comparison and it serves as an excellent starting point for Google’s efforts to get something in front of customers that they will actually use.
Some parts of it will be simple. Some parts of it will be easy.
