Internet-Connected TV Apps System Renamed to "Smart TV" by LG

Seemingly, Smart TV is a rebrand of LG's NetCast system—an internet-connected TV service with a home dashboard, displaying apps and widgets. Considering NetCast offered Skype, YouTube, Netflix, VUDU, and Yahoo Widgets, we shall expect more of the same.

Smart TV will be launching in early 2011, but there's already a peripheral available today that will be able to support it—the Magic Wand remote, which we saw back at CES. LG described it then as "mirroring a "Wii-like" experience," and by the looks of LG's press release (below), it sounds like they intend on stepping on even more of Nintendo's turf. Would you use the remote to color in a coloring book, or show you yoga positions? Maybe if you were too cheap to buy a Wii.

    Love the wii, don't think this can replace it, but we will get to the point where computer and TV are not distinguishable. People will watch TV on demand, on a comp/TV
