The problem is the Smart TV's stormed into the market place before the NP-1 even made it to the hands of people who pre-ordered them. You can get a nice smart TV which lets you use whatever applications you want without the need for a NP-1. If they were the "future of television" they would have been more in tune with the marketplace and not put so much money/effort/hype into something that was barely needed before it hit the market.
