Revue set top box from Logitech, has become the first device to bring Google TV to TV sets.
Revue comes with Google TV software and has been hailed as the first device of its type and is all set to revolutionise the way the internet and TV works. See our other articles on Google TV.
Google TV was first announced back in May 2010 along with partners Sony, Intel and of course Logitech. Google TV will allow people access to a huge range of content from videos and pictures to games and email (pretty much everything most people want or need).
One of the beauties of Google TV is the ability to search the internet through your TV for programmes from the internet, computer, digital recording boxes and obviously the TV. This could return listings from various existing (and new) TV channels and YouTube.
Google has recently announced partnerships with content distributors such as The New York Times, Amazon, HBO, NBA and many more. Currently only rolled out in the United States. Over here in the UK and Europe we will have to wait a little bit longer for this service.
Currently selling for about $300 in the States the Logitech device links the device to your PC via WiFi or the old Ethernet cable.
Complete with accessories such as a remote control (free), you can also purchase a high definition camera should you wish to - currently about $160. However there will be plenty more gadgets and devices coming along very quickly, you can be sure of that.
