Google TV - Useless or Not? (Continued)

Apple TV is obviously much cheaper than the Google TV, as the proposed and even the lowest set prices are above $1400 at the least. While the Apple TV is more than 50% much cheaper, and many reviews report it is just as good.

However:
This is what Google TV is controlled by, somewhat like a phone on steroids, and can control the TV without being connected to it.

With the New Remote 2.0 App, virtually any Apple product, such as an iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch can control the iTV.


Take a look at this, an Android Phone (Any, ranging from G1 to the Nexus), and even the iPhone for a little variation.

Lastly Google TV can perform flawlessly on Youtube, Hulu, Netflix, and all websites that have flash integrated into them, such as Twitter, Formspring, and FaceBook.

Recently, Apple TV has had issues with streaming videos and music. Google TV and Apple TV seem at least for now, equals. Both TVs allow various cell phone usage as remote controls, wi-fi, and access to iTunes, Netflix, etc. But with a massive price tag on Google TV, which one would prevail?
