Let me first start off by saying that XBMC is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Loved it on original XBOX and love having it on my HTPC. BEST.MEDIA.PLAYER.EVER esp if you have a remote for the true leanback setup.
I recently picked up a Logitech Revue which is one of the first devices that carries Google TV. Its still in its realllllly early stages (No Android apps yet or app store. will be available early 2011) but I can tell it has some epic potential.
I just wanted to see if there was an XBMC Android App in the works at all. That would be wonderful. The Logitech Media player that comes with the Revue is SUPERWEAK and doesn't even work properly. Also it only picks up DLNA streaming media sources on your network which i hate working with.

No developer has google tv (donations welcomed) and there need to exist a SDK and would also be awfully important to get a proper libc in there, or atleast get access to c++ for it to become possible....

I just learned about xbmc today. Is it simplistic to hope that by having xbmc running on linux/android based Google TV embedded in tv's and blue ray players, we could finally have a standard interface to the many media center back ends. Imagine the Wife Acceptance Factor? Is this really possible or am I missing a step?

Isn't android a pretty weak development platform? I mean we are talking about a device with the processing power a bit better then xbox right? I doubt it could handle a port if it were possible to translate xbmc to java.
I think it should be possible to stream to it though.. We would just need to convince one of the android remote guys to handle it.
I've seen xbmc remotes and xbmc upnp plugins but never an advanced streaming method which uses the power of the interfaces provided and streams.

Even if Android is a weak development platform, all I am asking the platform to do is streaming. For example, if I have a Google TV enabled Blue Ray Device, let the on-board native players hand the Blue-Ray, CD's, and SD Card Media and use XBMC on Google TV handle the streaming. Is this technically possible with the proper SDK? That way companies that desire to stream to these devices don't have to develop "channels" for the Samsung, Panasonic, or LG Blue Ray Devices, they only have to write for XBMC on Android. What a wonderful world it would be.

I would love to see XBMC running on Android tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Tab (7") and Archos 101/70 (10.1"/7")! A great platform for media on the go, and I believe products like these will sell really well next year.
It would be awesome to have the same interface both at home on the TV/projector and on the move on a tablet!
So far most of these tablets have a ARM A8-powered 1GHz CPU but some upcoming devices have Nvidia Tegra2.
HTPC Zotac ZBOX HD-ID33BR (Intel Atom D525, NVIDIA NG-ION, 4xBD, etc), 2GB DDR2 RAM, 40GB OCZ Agility2 SSD, Win 8.1, XBMC 13.
SERVER AMD Phenom II X4 910e, Asus M4A785TD-V EVO/U3S6, 8GB DDR3 RAM, 6xHDDs, Win Srv 2012 R2.
A/V BenQ W1400 DLP FHD/3D projector w 104" motor screen, Samsung 40" LCD FHD TV, Onkyo 7.1 receiver, Infinity Alpha speakers, Supra cables.
