Between Apple TV and Google TV, I definitely think Google has taken the upper hand. Don’t get me wrong I love Apple and their products too, but on the whole internet TV uprising, Google is giving more to people! I have the Logitech Revue with Google TV hooked up with my DISH Network services and its definitely a great technology! My TV basically does two things at once now, lets me surf the internet and watch TV at the same time. It’s a little higher price range than the Apple TV but it’s definitely worth it, because it just does so much more. It goes for $299 for retailers and if your a DISH employee or subscriber like me you can get it for $179. Great review between the two!
