Even With Refined Chrome and YouTube, Google TV Needs More Content
Last November I reviewed Google TV 2.0, a software update pushed out to owners of Logitech and Sony GTV devices. The folks at Sony lent me a 46-inch SIT for testing purposes, and while I found the update to be a marked improvement over the GTV 1.0 software it replaced, I didn’t think it would do

Samsung Teases Google TV Launch in Pre-CES Video?
Samsung’s never been one to shy away from multiple iterations of the same basic concept in their product lines. To wit, they currently sell smartphones that run the Android, Windows Phone and Symbian OSes in addition to their own Bada platform. So why should TVs be any different? Just because Sammy’s got a line of

Google TV Honeycomb Update – The Video Review
Last week I posted my written review of Google TV and its newly minted Honeycomb (Android 3.1) update. This week I took out the video camera to do the review again. My conclusions are still basically the same now as they were last week, though a platform like GTV by its nature is a constantly
Review: Google TV Take Two
Timely, isn’t it, to post this review hot on the heels of Logitech’s CEO calling his company’s foray into Google TV “a mistake of implementation of a gigantic nature”? As Adriana reported, company chief Guerrino De Luca said the GTV-powered Revue set-top box cost his business, “well over $100M in operating profits,” and that he

Logitech Jumps Off Google TV Train: No Replacement for Revue Coming
The Logitech Revue hasn’t exactly had a stellar year since it debuted last holiday season. Admittedly, says CEO Guerrino De Luca, the product launched with what amounted to beta-level Google TV software — meaning customers would’ve been coughing up $300 for what was a fairly unfinished product. This was the essence of what De Luca
Is the Time Right for an Apple Television Set?
Since Walter Isaacson’s “60 minutes” interview, and since the release of his biography of Steve Jobs hit shelves, the talk around Apple has generated buzz on multiple fronts. The one that proves most interesting to me is Steve Jobs’ apparent desire to make an integrated TV set. He said that he had “cracked it,” and
