I've had one for awhile now and pretty happy with it. There are lots of developers that are lining up to make their apps work with it so once Google has the API stabilized there should be lots of apps appearing that can work with it.

That means many video websites that can be brought up in the browser can be viewed on the TV. You can also "cast" your desktop so any file you can view on your desktop you can view on the TV including local video and picture files.
