Panasonic Claims Google TV Sets Will Be Expensive

If you’re wondering why Panasonic has decided to skip all the fanfare regarding Google’s Android TV, it’s apparently because it thinks that the devices will require processing power that adds too much to the cost of the set. While it’s not explicitly mentioned what, the hardware that Panasonic is referring to is likely the Intel Atom chipsets that Sony has chosen for this program. Do you think that the price of the upcoming Google set top boxes will be more than you’re willing to pay, or are you willing to pay a premium (if there is one) in order to join in the party?
