When you look at the price of those models which include this feature, you would be better off buying the lower end plasma from Panasonic, and buying a separate media PC, and lilkely save money. That setup would give you way more features and flexibility. Plus, who doesn't want to play PC games on their large plasma display?

You know what would be sweet - with a tv like that and one of those lcd control-all remotes that had a "tab" you could choose that was a small keyboard and mouse.

now THAT would be fat!

I do think they should include something like that, especially at this price point. Using a standard remote--even if we're all used to them--isn't cut out for for viewing YouTube videos.

when you log into youtube, you get access your playlists and favorites, along with the picks of the day, and a search field. If you use them, it cuts down on the amount of manual letter picking/searching. It also live searches to varying degrees of success, as you type in your letters. Even with these workarounds, the option to add a wireless keyboard would be nice.
