Biggest thing I see is threat of Google fighting back with patent lawsuits of its own. That's a mighty big stick they just picked up. Motorola is suing Apple already over some UDMA patents.

Adding Motorola's set-top box to GoogleTV gives them a much more inline competitor to AppleTV as well.

Next few years should be mighty interesting.

EDIT:
To be honest, I actually hope the patent lawsuits this year and next become such a huge ****ing mess that it forces reform. Suing based on the "shape" of a device is ****ing reeruned, as are software patents beyond 2 or 3 years.
