You guys remember Google TV? No? Well that’s probably because when they announced it, it came on devices that were priced into oblivion. Like the Logitech Revue which cost $300. As if that sting wasn’t enough, Apple launched the AppleTV shortly thereafter for $99. A somewhat less capable device (no DVR integration), but actually affordable. And it did all the things you really<\/em> cared about. Netflix. Movie rentals. The Revue never had a shot. Now, Logitech has wrestled the Revue from the grasp of Anubis, lord of the dead, by reducing the price to $99.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is in addition to the apparent promise that the Revue will be seeing a Honeycomb update sometime this summer. With a significantly lower pricepoint, and the promise of the Android Market, the Revue is beginning to look like a much better value. Which is to say, it’s beginning to look like it doesn’t obviously suck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The announcement came during an earnings call where Logitech made another announcement. Apparently to pay for the price cut, Logitech is going to cut costs elsewhere. Like in their Having A CEO department. Logitech CEO ardent GoogleTV supporter Guerrino De Luca and will be stepping down. Presumably giving his own life for the sake of his beloved son<\/del> product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either that or Logitech was getting tired of bleeding money for multiple quarters. I suppose that could be it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
