During the Google I/O conference, Google announced the newest product they had been working on, Google TV. Yesterday, the Logitech Revue (the first Google TV box) passed FCC approval, and as usual, the FCC was kind enough to provide some pictures of the device. The device sports some pretty decent specs as well, which include:
- Android 2.1
- 1.2 Ghz Atom CPU
- 4 GB Memory
- 2x HDMI 1.3
- 2x USB
- S/PDIF out
- Ethernet (presumably 10/100/1000)
- IR headers
- 802.11n
The Revue meshes well with the Logitech Harmony remote and acts as a WiFi access point for your entertainment devices. It helps unify many devices such as the TV, receivers, DVR, etc. and even comes with free 720p video chat software. You will have to bring your own webcam though but that isn't too bad. The device also supports many existing Android Apps and allows users to control everything via iPhone or Android devices as well as the previously mentioned Harmony remote and other IR devices. As of right now, there is no solid release date or pricing information, but it is expected to ship later this year for less than $500.
