Logitech Revue Information Released

The Logitech Revue seems to be a little more than expected.  It has Google Chrome built in which supports Flash 10.1 and HTML 5, so you should be able to watch videos on most any website.  The other thing that has some excitement is the following statement:

A Logitech rep confirmed the device will also stream the popular MKV file format, among others.

This could potentially make this device a Roku box but with many more features, and with the potential of the Android App store this might be something to look at.  The major downside to this product is that it costs roughly $300, so this product better offer some unique and exciting features.  We have been down this road before it seems, where we are promised an amazing set-top box, but it doesn't come through.  Google has some content providers on board currently, but without more is it really any better than paying $99 for a Apple TV or Roku?  


If Google TV integrates nicely with your existing cable service, then you might find the Logitech Revue exciting, but if you are looking to replace cable, I feel you will be disappointed at this point.  My suggestion, wait and see what develops before spending the money, unless you are already satisfied with what it does.
