Revue and Accessories

The official Google TV twitter account (@GoogleTV) linked to this article today:

This article says that the Revue will be updated to 3.2 "soon", and cites the GigaOm article people have posted here. Anyway, this seems like a good sign.

Lets hope Logitech includes the full GTV specifications, e.g. MPEG2 support in this release..

what a letdown...

Here we go again......

By the time it comes out with Logitech -Honeycomb 4 will be out with Google TV

Let the Revue  Die In Peace!

Don't hold your breath for MPEG-2 to ever be added to the Revue. Google already offered MPEG-2 to Logitech as part of the official Honeycomb 3.1 release. And while Sony accepted the "Full" 3.1 release from Google - Logitech made a strategic decision to eliminate MPEG-2 from the 3.1 release.

There is a licensing cost involved for MPEG-2 and the Revue is a discontinued product. Sony thought it was important because it is used a lot with Blu-ray player.

Just another slap in the face for those of us who payed $299.  no MPEG-2 is my biggest anoyance.  Looks like the Logitech Media player will never leave beta.

I feel like a moron for paying $99. I can't imagine how you feel.

Well, i have paid about 169$ recently with shipment to Europe, and I feel very well with my Revue.

I had problems with the setup 7of11 issue, but bypassed it by making setup at night (US-hours).

From now on, me and my wife use the Revue everyday with no problems at all.

Most of phones with Android from year ago wont get any update now and You are complaining about geting 3.1 and waiting a while for a 3.2?! Absurd.

One thing that Logitech should do is to open the bootloader for 3.1 and leave the rest to the Android Devs if they are not planning to make any more updates.

Good for you and yes, there are a couple glitches with 3.1 but these people whining for perfection and with the God awful reviews for this product is ridiculous. I paid 194 for mine a year ago and was lucky to pick up two more at 99 each. I use mine everyday and love it. The shockwave problem does need fixed and I'm pretty sure it will happen. It's no wonder Logitech discontinued the Revue with all this petty whining.

[CatfishRivers]

I like my Revue. I have a few minor annoyances with it - however it's strange that my Revue very rarely gets a Shockwave crash since I received the 3.1 update. I actually think my Revue is more stable after the update. After reading all the complaints about the Shockwave crashes - all I can think of is that it must be very site specific.

Yet another happy Revue customer. Find me another $99 device that even comes close [feature for feature & apples to apples]  My 2 units will provide many years of enjoyment -but- a future update or "custom rom" would certainly

sweeten the pot
