I’m thinking about attending a Google TV hackathon event later this week, and I have no experience with Google TV. It seems that Android is the main platform to build on, but I want to run my existing web app on Google TV. I was wondering how difficult of a job it is, and if it’s something that can be done over a weekend. Can anyone provide advice?

It really depends on what your webapp does. If it uses Flash, or not. There are lots of things to consider before doing just a “port”. On the other hand, if your really interested in that, you might wish to look at this article I wrote: Moving Web Content to Google TV Android Apps If your app isn’t already D-pad navigable, you might be interested in the jQuery & Closure extensions as well as our template libraries.
Chrome on Google TV is Chrome 11 w/ security patches. A WebView hasn’t really changed in quite a while. If you’ve got significant CSS3 usage, you’ll notice it.
