From the looks of it, your Android phone would serve as a channel to remotely control the Google TV device. On top of that, the GPS feature might allow users to turn on their TV and set up stations to watch from a particular radius close to their home. It’s been heavily rumored that Apple’s upcoming TV set will offer Siri integration, so it comes as no surprise that Google would follow the same trail.
