Set Top Boxes: Google TV vs. Apple TV vs. Roku

With the release of Google TV, the set top box (STB) wars just got hotter. I've been thinking about getting a STB for a while now. When Apple announced the new Apple TV I was pretty excited. It would give me the ability to play my movies/TV shows/podcasts on my TV from the media drive. Although my Mac Mini does that now, it still needs more than just a couple of clicks and you're on. I know about Front Row but does anyone use it?

So I went out and got an Apple TV about a week after it was made available at Apple's retail stores (this was well before Google TV was announced).
