Logitech Ditching Google TV, CEO Calls Revue Launch “A Mistake Of Implementation Of A Gigantic Nature”

Logitech Ditching Google TV, CEO Calls Revue Launch “A Mistake Of Implementation Of A Gigantic Nature”

Liam Spradlin Liam Spradlin

Guerrino De Luca, CEO of Logitech, while speaking at the company’s Analyst and Investor Day yesterday, plainly delivered a statement that many of us could have seen coming, calling Logitech’s 2010 launch of the Revue set top box “a mistake of implementation of a gigantic nature.” Further, De Luca made it clear that Logitech had “brought closure to the Logitech Revue saga,” and plans to let inventory run out this quarter, with no sequel in the works for the manufacturer’s first Google TV box.

[Review] Logitech Keyboard Case Increases Productivity Without Ruining Your Tab 10.1's Portability

[Review] Logitech Keyboard Case Increases Productivity Without Ruining Your Tab 10.1's Portability

Liam Spradlin Liam Spradlin

Before giving Logitech's Keyboard Case a go, I was skeptical about how useful a separate keyboard would be for my Galaxy Tab 10.1. My main concern about keyboards in general was portability - I picked up the Galaxy Tab 10.1 because of its slim design, easy portability, and Android functionality, so carrying around a bulky accessory was out of the question, as it seemed to defeat the purpose.

Logitech and Zagg have created perhaps the most elegant solution to this problem that I've seen yet with the Keyboard Case.

Logitech Harmony Link Will Make Your Android Phone The Best Remote In The House

Logitech Harmony Link Will Make Your Android Phone The Best Remote In The House

Ron Amadeo Ron Amadeo

Logitech is bringing its Harmony remote tech to Android in the form of the Logitech Harmony Link. For those that don't know, Harmony is all about controlling your home theater setup with as little effort as possible - imagine a universal remote mashed up with a computer and you're getting there. A hundred bucks gets you a Wi-Fi equipped IR blaster box and an app. The box receives commands from your phone over the Wi-Fi connection, and can relay that to up to 8 IR devices in your home theater setup.

New Honeycomb Build For The Logitech Revue Leaks Out, Appears To Be Near Completion

New Honeycomb Build For The Logitech Revue Leaks Out, Appears To Be Near Completion

Cameron Summerson Cameron Summerson

About a month and a half ago, Logitech drastically reduced the price of its Google TV unit, the Revue, from $299 to a much more acceptable $99 in order to boost sales. At that time, it was also promised that Android 3.1 would be hitting the set-top box sometime "this summer," which has since been pushed back to the end of September.

While we've already seen one Honeycomb leak for the Revue surface, it was quite buggy and not entirely stable.

[Updated: Walkthrough Video] Official Android 3.1 Beta For Logitech Revue Leaked; Flash At Your Own Risk!

[Updated: Walkthrough Video] Official Android 3.1 Beta For Logitech Revue Leaked; Flash At Your Own Risk!

John Thompson John Thompson

Heads-up, Revue owners! We've got a nice little surprise for you all this morning. A member of the GTVHacker forums has posted about a leaked beta of Android 3.1 for the Google TV device, and the good news is that you can download it right now!

The update looks like is an official one (signed and hosted by Google/Logitech), as you don't need to be rooted to flash this on to your device; you can apply it like you would any other operating system update with no root necessary.

[Updated] Logitech Revue Price Drop To $99.99 Now In Effect - Android 3.1 Still Coming "Later This Summer"

[Updated] Logitech Revue Price Drop To $99.99 Now In Effect - Android 3.1 Still Coming "Later This Summer"

Artem Russakovskii Artem Russakovskii

The Logitech Revue, originally highly overpriced at $299.99, was recently reported to be going down in price heavily to a sweet spot of $99.99 that it should have shipped with in the first place in my opinion.

As of today, the price drop is in effect, so you can order the Revue for $99.99 with free 2-day shipping directly from Logitech by following this link.

Update: It's now up for the same price on Amazon and at Best Buy.

Watch The Keynote And Android Sessions From Day 2 Of Google I/O 2011 Now On YouTube

Watch The Keynote And Android Sessions From Day 2 Of Google I/O 2011 Now On YouTube

Artem Russakovskii Artem Russakovskii

Ahh, Google I/O, how we'll miss you for the next 365 days or so. The last 2 days have been filled with anticipation, knowledge, surprises, excitement, and fun - the perfect recipe for happy developers. As a developer myself, I've picked up heaps of new information, especially from the SDK Tools and ADT session by Tor Norbye and Xavier Ducrohet, and viewing the keynotes was simply a blast.

As you may have seen yesterday, day 1 keynote and sessions were already posted last night, and now the same fate reached the sessions and keynote from day 2.

Logitech Revue Rooted Using Soldering Iron, USB Drives, And Un-Updated Firmware

Logitech Revue Rooted Using Soldering Iron, USB Drives, And Un-Updated Firmware

Jaroslav Stekl Jaroslav Stekl

It's taken months of blood, sweat, and tears, but the Logitech Revue has finally been rooted!

Before you get too excited, I must warn you that the process isn't for the faint of heart (you'll have to physically crack open the Revue's box and solder some wires in), and you'll need a brand new device that hasn't received any firmware updates.

That said, there will undoubtedly be those of you eager to give it a shot, so if your device qualifies, go ahead - instructions lie below.

First Google TV OTA Update Rolling Out Along With The Official Google TV Remote Control Android App

First Google TV OTA Update Rolling Out Along With The Official Google TV Remote Control Android App

Artem Russakovskii Artem Russakovskii

The users of Google TV will love Google a little more than usual today, as the company is rolling out the first over-the-air update since launch (I am assuming the OTA my Revue prompted me to download out of the box did not count). Refreshingly, there is no fragmentation present with Google TV (yet?), so both the Logitech Revue and the 2 versions of Sony's GTV should be receiving the updates without delays throughout this week.

Logitech Revue, Meet Recovery Mode

Logitech Revue, Meet Recovery Mode

Jaroslav Stekl Jaroslav Stekl

While Android hackers figured out how to boot Sony's Google TVs into recovery mode sometime ago, the Logitech Revue has been waiting for something similar. But now the wait is over, thanks to @Stericson, who took no more than a day to accomplish the task on his Revue unit, sent to him by Google.

While we are now one small baby step closer to having root access, I feel obligated to remind you that Sony's Google TVs have yet to see any real attempts at root or software mods of any kind, despite having had access to recovery mode for over a month now.
