Naveen, 

I'm curious which version of Hillcrest's pointing technology you
used to browse YouTube.

Since the link you referenced was from 2007, I'm wondering if
perhaps you're only familiar with earlier attempts at browsing
YouTube. 

Since then, Kodak's Theatre HD uses the Hillcrest pointing
technology to browse YouTube with some decent success.  

Here's the YouTube app on the Kodak box:

(note this video shows search, not browse, and is pretty low quality)

I definitely think pointing has a future--I consistently grow
frustrated with having to constantly do the down-down-down
right-right-right to select a movie I want to rent in iTunes on
AppleTV or in my DirecTV guide.  

While I'll be the first to note it's not for everyone, it certainly
can be more efficient in specific instances. 

Disclosure: I'm an interaction design consultant for Hillcrest Labs.
