Abstract: To see if so-called Google TV 2.0 is worthy of another try, we decided to put one of the newest devices - Sony's NSZ-GS7 streaming media player - to the test. But just as we were about to finalize testing, we also got our hands on Vizio's new Co-Star, whi...
Much better performance than previous models, Full featured remote with backlit keys, Easy set up, Lots of media codecs
A good bit of Internet content is still blocked from Google TV users, No easy way to play purchased Google Play movies, At $299, it's more expensive than many other options, That full-feature remote has a confusing layout
If you're a Google TV fan, it's time to upgrade to newer hardware. Do it for the video quality, do it for the games, do it for better browsing. Not much else has changed, as Google TV still seems to be just a hair short of being fabulous. If you're not a...
Doublesided controller has a clickable touchpad and can function as a universal remote. Quick startup. Ports galore, including Ethernet, two USB, digital optical out, HDMI in and out, and an IR blaster. Will play content from external drives
There are better streaming boxes for less than half the price. Web browsing on a TV is still not fun. Glitchy software means that Google TV is still not ready for prime time
We started with the conclusion, but we feel the redundant need to be redundant and reinforce our summary.Google TV is an amazing concept. Sony’s Internet TV products including the NSZ-GS7 are the best Google TV products available on the market. The pro...

There are hints of great and friendly tech in the NSZ-GS7. Startup is near instant, and it doesn't take many taps to get to a live-updating list of TV shows to watch, free movies to stream (Netflix, Amazon VoD, and the rest of the familiar cast), and list
For every graceful HBO moment, there were a dozen to the contrary: a channel that wouldn't load, a command that wasn't recognized, or an inexplicable green screen of nothing. Maybe it was my cable box, maybe it was my receiver—but that's beside the point
No. Someday, someone—probably Apple, as boring as that is to admit—will probably pull off the next great leap in television. A television that makes it as easy as possible to find and watch things, to sit and be entertained, that knows and loves both the...

The Sony NSZ-GS7 has a vastly improved, double-sided remote for Google TV, with a large touch pad and a full keyboard. It's a small, stylish box and the only current set-top box that supports Google TV
The Google TV software continues to disappoint. There aren't dedicated apps for major streaming services like Amazon Instant, Hulu Plus, and MLB.TV, nor is Google's own movie rental service supported. Major content providers like ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, Comed
The Sony NSZ-GS7 has sleek hardware and an innovative remote, but it's hampered by the still too-limited and frustrating Google TV software.
Abstract: The arrival of a major competitor like Google on the smart TV scene should be an exciting event. Instead, Google TV has slipped shyly and quietly into the market....
Unique Google TV platform, Chrome browser supports Flash video, Handy HDMI switching, Excellent YouTube app, Live thumbnail while browsing
Limited Google Play apps, Complex remote, Expensive
Will Sony make a dedicated Google TV on the back of this box's success, or will Apple's much-discussed app-laden iTV ultimately consign the whole idea to history? The swelling of Goolge TV-centric apps in Google Play could be the platform's saviour, but t...

Abstract: The Sony Internet Player! Is it just another expensive box for your home entertainment system? Or, is it a new player in providing a standardised entertainment platform in Australia? Well these are the questions I will be answering in this mini review.Fir...
