If Santa delivered a Logitech Revue and you’ve been experiencing some trouble getting through the setup procedure, it might be a good idea to check and see if the MAC address begins with 1C6F657. Logitech has disclosed that an indeterminate number of recently manufactured Logitech Revue units shipped out with a corrupted firmware that causes the device to fail to complete […]

Myriad launched Alien Dalvik to some fanfare a few years ago. The idea behind Alien Dalvik was to make it possible for Android apps to be run with little or no modification on any OS. The ill-fated MeeGo was the first OS to support Alien Dalvik, and unfortuantely Myraid’s technology never really seemed to gain much of a foothold anywhere […]

Sling Media has been working hard to get their SlingPlayer app deployed as broadly as possible. Most recently we saw apps for Facebook and then the Boxee Box, and now the SingPlayer app is available on Google TV.

Sony and Logitech were Google’s hardware launch partners for Google TV, but there were other companies looking at building their own hardware.

Good for Google for continuing to update and not abandon their GoogleTV platform which has gotten off to a terrible start. I find a bit of irony in the update going first to Sony users, with Logitech soon to follow, especially considering how much flack Logi has gotten for all the wasted money they put into these boxes. Great rundown […]

When Google TV launched last year, I had very little interest. The Logitech Revue was the least expensive Google TV device, but at $299 there was no way I could see it competing with an HTPC for the power user or the Roku for entry-level user. It just seemed destined to get squeezed out in the middle. Then the reviews […]

It sounds like May’s price reduction of the GoogleTV-based Logitech Revue to $199 wasn’t enough to goose sales of the struggling device because Logitech has decided to reduce the price again this quarter to $99. Apparently, the whole affair has been enough to cause Logitech and now former CEO, Gerald P. Quindlen, to part ways. Even with the new pricing, it’s a […]

It looks like Google has somehow managed to convince Logitech to stay on board the Google TV train for at least one more go around. I think this is a good thing, as I would hate to see it go the way of WHS where all the major OEMs abandon it without giving it more time to develop. I’m not […]
