Google Media Server is a Windows application that aims to bridge the gap between Google and your TV. It uses Google Desktop technology such as Desktop gadgets for the administration tool and Google Desktop Search to locate media files. All you need is a PC running Google Desktop and a UPnP-enabled device (e.g. a PlayStation 3). At the touch of a button, you can then:

   * Access videos, music, and photos stored on your PC
   * View Picasa Web Albums
   * Play your favorite YouTube videos

I saw something about this earlier tonight. The example use I read about was using this with a PS3 to view videos, music and pictures. Couldn't you do all of that before without the need of Google Desktop? Is there a large market of devices that have UPnP support and are plugged into your TV already?
