What I would like to know is about a HD camera for the Sony

This is what would be good and also being able to use Skype.
I bought the Sony because I wanted another blu-ray player but when I called after hours support for a question the call was routed to Sony/Google TV in California (it was a Sunday night) and the guy could not say as to when.
Also wanted to know if I could use a RF mouse/pointer as the "optical" mouse is really a joke as it works/doesn't work (herky jerky).

 

You are supposed to be able to use any standard USB mouse and/or keyboard with the Sony Google TV. I have not heard anything about webcam support yet, I do not think there is any software let alone driver support to allow webcams. Not to say that can't change, after all that is the whole point of an upgradable platform.
