The Logitech Revue: Wave of the Future
The Logitech Revue is a companion box to your Television that enables you to get Google TV. As such, the box can be updated and enhanced to allow for greater capabilities for your Logitech Revue as Google TV gets better in the near future.
Google TV was launched on October 17, 2010, so new and exciting things will be coming in 2011.

What is the Logitech Revue?
A Concise Introduction
Simply put, the Logitech Revue is hardware that allows you to view Google TV. In order to use the Revue, you will need to have a High Definition Television (HDTV) with HDMI in, a cable or satellite TV box with an HDMI out, as well as an Internet connection through either an ethernet cable or Wi-Fi. An HDMI cable comes in the box with a new Revue.

So, what is Google TV? Google TV is a full on integration of the Television and the Internet. You can now surf the web, watch Television, or both right from your TV. But, it's even more than that. Turn you smart phone into a remote control. Download apps to your TV. Concisely, Google TV (as the name would suggest) is where E-worlds collide.
