Logitech Revue Google TV 2.0 gets official

by admin on Dec.16, 2011, under electronics, electronics news

From Logitech’s blog comes the official confirmation that all devices and Logitech Revue should begin to receive the new update to Android 3.1, Google TV. The new update notice will appear automatically if the Revue is connected to the Internet, and will only accept it to begin downloading and updating. Buyers of new Revue will also receive the update automatically once they have activated your unit.
Google TV version 2.0 that Logitech has included in its basic streamer is not that Google has already released a couple of weeks, but includes customizations and unique applications, such as Logitech Media Player, which has been updated with some improvements. One of the most important TV included with Google Android 3.1 is the new Android Market where users have access to a growing catalog where we can find for example Google Music, and up to 50 different utilities and other applications specifically created for devices multimedia. We also find improvements in speed and capacity of the system’s search engine, allowing us to quickly locate the content you’re looking for, either in local mode via an external storage device, or from internet.
Which in turn was rated by many as a major fiasco Logitech again with renewed strength with this new system, including Google Chrome browser with Flash support 10.2 for surfing the internet as if we were using our desktop computer. With the Logitech TV Cam – which can be purchased separately – and the service Vid HD, Logitech Revue also allow us to make video calls over the Internet from our HDTV, to stay connected with friends and family more comfortable, from our own lounge. This camera also allow us to leverage other future communication applications that may appear in the Android Market.
What will be the most controversial of Logitech device? The firm has already announced its intention not to produce a second generation of these Google TV, which Revue is the only of its kind in its catalog. What is still unclear after the losses it has caused, is if Logitech will continue to manufacture and supporting its only Google TV for much longer, which may depend on the success of the platform after the upgrade, and could determine sales volume, if it is profitable enough to continue to support and extend their production and sales to other regions not yet have official distribution, including Spain.
