They said it would be available in September. Now they say it will be available in October. To me this seems like vaporware, specifically to keep people from buying AppleTV. They still don't have any content deals setup. I haven't heard any big players other than Netflix, which is already available on any Bluray player made (practically).

Where is Hulu? Where is ESPN? These are the networks they need to beat Apple in this market, and they're conspicuously absent. Even Youtube is supposed to have TV rentals "really soon now," but I haven't heard much about that recently.

Why does it seem that the only thing Google can do now is say "me too" whenever Apple releases a new product?



Um, wasn't GoogleTV announced at Google I/O in may, way before AppleTV2 was announced? How do you introduce vaporware to block the sale of something that didn't exist yet?
