Dont write off Google TV just yet
In an email from Ty Sheppard of Logitech PR company RudderFinn, i was informed that the ” the device will be available for $99, starting on Sunday, July 31,” and to also, “stay tuned for the expected release of Version 2 of Google TV later this summer.”
In some good news for previous owners of the Revue, he said that an automatic update of the Google TV software will be made available as soon as it is released, saying, “When Google TV version 2 goes live, all new and existing Logitech Revue users will automatically receive the update, built on Android 3.1. Among other benefits, V2 will offer a simplified user experience and access to the Android Market.”
He also wanted to clear up a misconception by many that more Logitech Revue boxes were returned than got sold. He said, “Logitech’s Q1 financial results were reported last week, we stated that returns for Logitech Revue were greater than sales. Some people thought this meant that there were more consumers returning their Logitech Revue products in Q1 than were purchasing the product.”
He continued, “This is simply not the case. Remember that Logitech sells mostly to distributors and retailers, not consumers. Since we introduced Logitech Revue in October 2010, consumer returns for the product have averaged at levels comparable to other Logitech products.”

I have Google TV on a Sony BluRay player. I’m going to eturn it because the “Shockwave Plug In” crashes all the time – I mean, to the point that I can’t believe Sony or Google would put their name on this POS.
