Digital TV for Internet (forsee in 2010)

No one can stop the trends of Digital TV. Because it's too big for the galaxies only have us (the earth). You can do many things on your digital TV through the brandband network which is already fast enough to play video in real-time.

Apple TV assumes the network is not fast enough to watch TV directly through the network.
But Motorola proves the cable modem is fast enough to play voice, video and data at the same time. ADSL+ and fiber may also be the options.

Microsoft TV annunced 10 years too early. Now, may be the time to give it a second trial.

What is the next step for the companies of, so called ISP and ICP. ISP is the cable and TV companies in stead of only Telco companies. IPTV is the new zone for ICP to do the tranform.
Move all contents from the PC player to TV player is very easy, because they are all on the same network (the Internet). Google are ready to move their customers from PC to TV with their own "free" network services very soon.

New applications and games are followed. It's should be a smooth tranfer for PC users go on TV.
Such as email, chat, google search, youtune (especially good for learning), video conference, make a call or sending sort message to mobile users, (I almost forgot the google maps.)

Many others things we normally do daily are move to a digital flatpanel TV (TFT display).
But only one group of people they still can't do their jobs on TV are "the Developers"

Hope we can do coding on TV someday "without a PC."
