I was watching a few NCAA games this weekend..and really wanted to be able to pull up the brackets and see the big picture while I was watching the game. Of course in this "information age" one would think that'd be easy..

Then I wondered why AppleTV couldn't allow this. I pull up a window with Apple TV that contains a modified AppleTV browser....I look up whatever I want while I'm watching TV.

So...why not have an internet/browser option in Front Row and Apple TV? Controllable either by virtual keyboard a la tivo..or by bluetooth keyboard...or by your iPhone. All placed within an onscreen window that you can size.

Could they add it... yes.

Will they... I'm not so sure. I have yet to see a good TV Internet browser.
