Wouldn't it be 3.0?  If you count AppleTV I mean.  The article was kind of scant on details, but I would expect Google to learn from the mistakes of previous attempts.  A cheap easy-to-use box for streaming Hulu, Youtube, etc. could have some success, especially if they partner with big networks to allow streaming of popular shows (with ads, of course).
Actually, I just found out that there was "MSN TV 2" so it would be 3.0.  Apple TV is more of a media player.  There is no native browser.

From what I understand, this thing is supposed to be "internet on your TV".  I'd be all over a box that could stream Hulu.  I wish the Roku could.  It's already a great Netflix streaming device plus MLB.tv if you're a subscriber.  If this Google TV thing did Hulu though, I'd be highly tempted.
