Google TV not worth 300 bones to ya? How’s a few cool Benjamin? As promised , Logitech has slashed the cost of its Revue set-top box from $299 to $99 by itself site and at retailers like Best Buy, giving people searching for products/services something awfully tempting to contemplate alongside the chance of running Honeycomb on their TV straight away . Oh, and the much-reported nugget from its earnings about “returns exceeding sales”? It’ll probably be noted that wasn’t about returns from end users, which the corporate claims “have averaged at levels reminiscent of other Logitech products”, but from the distributors and retailers it sells most of its hardware to. So, you in, or are you continue to holding out for the 90 percent off sale that can or would possibly not ever materialize?
Because you recently wrote concerning the Logitech Revue, i needed to inform you that the device can be available for $99, starting on Sunday, July 31.
Also stay tuned for the predicted release of Version 2 of Google TV later this summer.
When Google TV version 2 goes live, all new and existing Logitech Revue users will automatically receive the update, built on Android 3.1. Among other benefits, V2 will offer a simplified user experience and access to the Android Market.
Additional Clarification from Logitech
When Logitech’s Q1 financial results were reported last week, we stated that returns for Logitech Revue were more than sales. Some people thought this meant that there have been more consumers returning their Logitech Revue products in Q1 than were purchasing the product. It really is simply not the case. Keep in mind that Logitech sells mostly to distributors and retailers, not consumers. Since we introduced Logitech Revue in October 2010, consumer returns for the product have averaged at levels similar to other Logitech products.
