Youtube lean back: According to the demo, youtube leanback will just start playing and there is no clicking involved. Videos based on recommendations (from your friends or people you subscribe) and channels will be available. Google says you will be able to lean back but keep control.
Sony: A full line of new televisions that work with Google TV.
Intel: Intel Atom will be powering all these devices.
More partners: Logitech, Dish network, Best Buy
Availability: Fall 2010, source will not be released until later
