as the subject says, what do you use your sony tv for? I use the browser occasionally but now that I have xfinity, I hardly find myself searching for content.
Interested in what other have you used it for.

as far as i know, the device has been as popular as the revue. im not sure how many users actually purchased it.
Re: what do you use your sony tv for..
I purchased mine on launch day, here's everything we do or have done ;/
We used web apps quite a bit at first but now very rarely- the Flixster page gets our attention when we want to see movie trailers. Most recent to that we were having some fun with the WeDraw. I think these web apps were a great attempt by Google to create a standard using existing technologies that could easily work cross platform but unfortunately the whole world is app crazy right now.
I was running a DLNA server for sometime, using the Media Player to access but ultimately dropped to an ATV2 with XBMC. DLNA is awful technology- so many rendering devices & few mature server software.
We have two Revision3 feeds and one audio podcast that come in via the Queue, it's a simple way to catch up on some stuff but I ultimately think that's too geeky for most people.
I installed an antenna for a little bit of live tv which works well with "What's on" (except St. Louis only has 7 local stations!). Our primary usage is Netflix of course, just a few nice button presses away.
Oh and my daughter loves back dropping some Pandora to a slideshow of our Picasa Web Albums.
That's about it. I hid other web apps since that first week such as Napster, NBA Game Time, Sony Recommends, etc.
