ABC's Nightline is about the last place that we thought news would break about Google TV first, but it does make sense, and I guess TV is the best place to promote Google TV! In the special that featured G-TV, they also released a bit about Sony's new Google TV and their very own controller. "Two circular directional pads, a QWERTY keyboard, volume, channel selection, some play / pause buttons... everything you'd need to rock the web and video all at once."

Thats pretty cool, but I would have prefered a slide out type like the new Vizio and TiVo remotes. I hope Logitech releases something that is along the lines of their diNovo handheld keyboard, but is more geared toward TV usage. diNovo Mini
I have no doubt that we will see remotes like this. Look were Android started and where it is now. I really think G-TV will grow and adapt the same way.
