I'm not impressed by a television because it's an extremely limited device although it is able to recieve communications from a variety of other devices.
A television should be able to interact with a 100 disk CD changer giving you a visual interface for playing music. It should let you browse photographs stored elsewhere on your home network. It should allow you to display other pertinent home related information such as which lights in the house are on, which doors are unlocked, etc. It should notify you with picture ID when some one is calling you.
Granted, Windows XP Media Center Edition is headed in that direction... and THAT is very impressive.

Exactly! Then why do we care? It ONLY does music. A 30 year old walkman can play music through headphones, too. Sure the iPOD can store more music, but... essentially, it's still just a walkman.
