The percentage of sales people that recommend Samsung HDTVs.
Salespeople are also becoming less likely to recommend LCD sets over plasma sets, which goes against the industry trend.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
It would be nice to see an upgrade to the YouTube experience on Apple TV, especially since the device pretty much pioneered YouTube on the TV set. At least give us HD videos in HD, Apple! Throw us a bone!
please tell me you're kidding, i dont know if you're exaggerating much...but if you think apple tv greatly pioneered youtube on the tv you're greatly mistaken. i might want to point out the shiny black console used in the youtube video after the break which has some countless millions more in the nearly 6 months before apple tv even dropped.
Apple TV is one STB that is even more overpriced than the PS3.
All that money and it does what? no thanks.
I checked it out on my PS3. I thought it was pretty good. A lot better than the pc version on PS3, especially with no keyboard or mouse. I would like to see the ability to view the videos in HD.
Now we just need hulu to do the same thing and we're all set.
The PS3 does support Hulu playback, but in my test of it I received javascript errors and the playback was really slow.
good to go.......
I see this opening up many paths........all lead to something great.....
I did notice Sony said they were trying to get work with Youtube and have it more "PS3 Oriented" when viewed on the PS3..........would be nice
"but today they've launched a page just for browser-enabled living room devices (the PlayStation 3 and Wii) to browse on a TV screen"
No it's not, also works on PC/Mac (or whatever)!!!! Duh!!!
Just use the latest Firefox version, download User Agent Switcher add-on for firefox, http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/ , add a new User Agent for PS3, see this link http://www.useragentstring.com/Playstation%2032.00_id_6492.php , and then voila, there's youtube.com/tv on your computer!!!
Sweet, thanks for providing the links. I've heard of it but I've been too lazy to search. Works great.

Good luck Google. I'm sure that Microsoft wants to open up their entirely closed and proprietary console to you.
Actually, they probably would. After the success of the Netflix launch on the 360, MS exec Shane Kim said they were wanting to do more partnerships for streaming and mentioned YouTube specifically as well as Hulu.

"The executive went on to say that the partnership made with Netflix wouldn't be the last one, and that more deals between Microsoft and other content providers, like YouTube or Hulu, might be made in order to deliver a higher-quality entertainment experience."
They can have youtube. I've got Netflix on my 360.
