It was announced many months ago. I'm using this opportunity to talk about how unfortunate it is that we announced it so long ago and are only launching it now. I'm not saying this current announcement itself is a fail. :)

It was announced months ago so they was a window for developers to start building things.

I'm not sure that's true (I'm not sure its not either) but in this case Google hasn't been very open to outside developers.

They have solutions for "optimizing your website for TV" but nothing on the dev page for developers but a coming soon. That and the fact that Android apps won't be available until 2011
