It also comes with a universal Bluetooth remote and a full QWERTY keyboard. It also supports 1080p Full HD and 3D with built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi and a USB port.

I wonder if this will work with the OnLive controller?

GoogleTV, huh?
Reminds me of the scary dystopian vision where Google has a media monopoly and decides for you what you get to read/hear/watch.
They partly do it with their search engine already (show different results to different users based on their habits)… so I wonder whether that theory will pan out after all.

OnLive and Vizio have already confirmed that the Universal OnLive Wireless Controller and other standard USB XInput controllers will work with it. Here’s the confirmation: https://twitter.com/OnLive/status/217653863950467074
