So then I had a couple of choices: 1) turn on the Roku Player and see if it is available on Amazon Video-on-Demand (it is, and for 99 cents, thanks to Apple TV) or 2) turn on the Playstation 3 and see if it is available on Hulu Plus (it is, and that's where we watched it). First I pulled up FiOS's On Demand guide and searched there. That made for domestic friction, so I wanted to find a digital copy of the missed episode. Just as an example, last night I realized I'd forgotten to record Glee on Tuesday night. Google says this is just the beginning and they'll continue to work on integration with other service providers and when they do it could be really neat.

Basically Google TV isn't going to replace your existing TV service provider's interface. If you want to watch live TV you're not going to use the Google TV interface to bring it up, though you could bring up Google TV over live TV in order to multi-task. If you've got Tivo or a DVR from Time Warner, Comcast, FiOS or any provider other than Dish Network and you want to know what's on it, you're not going to use the Google TV UI (though you might still use the controller given its Harmony functionality). This seems to be the Revue's Achilles' Heel for now. Google TV will search the web and your local digital media, but not your cable provider's content, unless your cable provider is Dish Network. That's neat and even useful, but I'm not sure its $300-worth of neat and useful. Happens all the time, right? So pop up Google TV and search IMDB to find out. Imagine watching a show and seeing some character actor and not being able to place where you've seen him or her. Your video continues to play in the background (seen through the translucent interface) or in a picture-in-picture window. While you're watching a show on cable you can pop up the Google TV interface and search for other content, surf the web or whatever. The Revue has an HDMI in port, and the idea is that you go from your cable/satellite box to the Revue, then from the Revue to your TV.

Not only will these hopefully obviate the need for the Mini-Controller but they'll support voice search, too.

There will be apps for both iOS and Android that will turn your mobile device into a Revue remote. If you know someone else with a Revue or the corresponding application on a computer, this could be interesting and in specific cases video calling could be a killer app.

Video calling is in 720P and supports digital zooming. Google says they're still working on that. We kind of expected to see Hulu Plus support, but no dice. Via apps you can watch Netflix or listen to Pandora or watch YouTube videos (and more, this is just a partial list). The full-sized keyboard remote has a multi-touch trackpad so you should be able to play your Facebook (and other Flash) games properly. So once you've spent your $300-$570 dollars, what can you do with it? Hands-on reports from people at the event say you can browse the web pretty well, and the built-in Chrome browser supports Flash 10.1. There is the deal for Dish Network customers that brings the price down to $179 and the Revue integrates with the Dish DVR, so if you're a Dish customer the system might be a lot more appealing than it is for the rest of us. (If you want a second standard controller you can get one for $99.99.)Д«ottom line? Way too expensive, in my opinion. Last up was an HD Camera intended for video calling: that'll set you back $149.99. Logitech also revealed a smaller Mini-Controller that they'll sell separately for $129.99. To be fair the controller will also work as a Harmony Remote so if you don't have a universal remote yet, you're getting that functionality too.

Sure enough, they're asking $299 for the Revue and its keyboard-sized controller. All of my worst fears surrounding the Revue, Logitech's Google TV set-top box, were confirmed.ДЇirst was the price. That popping sound you heard yesterday was Logitech bursting my bubble.
