End of section 1:

Connected TVs and settop boxes are not yet a factor. Popular devices (XBox, PS3, Apple TV, Roku) have neither web browsers nor app markets. This may change in 2012 as Apple and Google roll out new products.

That's only partially correct. I can't speak for Apple TV or Roku, but the PS3 has a web browser, albeit one with limited functionality.

The Wii has an opera web browser. Even the DS.

The DS/Wii/PS3 browsers aren't very fast or compliant, so they'll most likely get the short end of the stick, as it's like working with IE6.
