From this review, it sounds like anything but a seamless experience. Ian Betterridge correctly points out that the salient sentence in this review is "A menu appeared asking me to enlarge a box on the screen to match my actual screen size.” This doesn't happen just once, it happens repeatedly.

And there are numerous other UI gaffes that this review points out. Might be inconsequential to the geeks in the tech press that are falling all over themselves to praise Google TV, but could be dealbreakers to average consumers who prefer simplicity to mile-long feature checklists.

Also, content providers have begun blocking access to Google TV. This is no different than how Hulu already blocks set top boxes from manufacturers that don't pay an access fee. But, again it chips away at the seamless internet integration that Google's touting.

In the end, I think that Google TV's going to be just another IPTV option among many, and it won't be the killer app that finally solves all of the integration options that have plagued other devices.
