Logitech has pushed out the first update for their Revue Google TV box, and it's addressed two of the biggest complaints about the media streaming STB. The new firmware allows Revue users with Netflix accounts to search for content and update their queue from within the Google TV app itself; additionally, the Dual View picture-in-picture window (which shows both the current TV program and a browser window) can now be moved around the screen and resized.
Update: More on the firmware update - which is available for Sony's Google TV devices as well - at Google's blog.

Logitech Revue Promoted by Kevin Bacon’s Biggest Fan
Google TV may not be getting a lot of love from the TV networks, but that's not stopping Logitech from moving right along with their unique, and often times head-scratching commercials. This time around, we've got Kevin Bacon spoofing himself, acting as Kevin Bacon's biggest fan. A "devoted fan," if you will.

Sony slash Google TV prices; NSZ-GT1 Blu-ray deck under $300
Sony has slashed prices on its Google TV range as part of its Black Friday promotions, reducing its larger HDTVs by up to $200 and cutting a whopping 25-percent from its NSZ-GT1 Google TV Blu-ray player. That makes the Blu-ray deck the same $299.99 as Logitech is asking for their Revue, though you're also getting a more compact (if arguably confusing) remote control and Blu-ray playback.

Logitech Revue Review
You can’t accuse Google of being unambitious. Not content with having their Android OS take great bites out of the smartphone market, the search giant has also put it to work as the core of Google TV, a new play for the home entertainment segment. Most early-adopters will dip their tow with the Logitech Revue, a compact set-top box with a not-so-compact $300 price tag. The promise is that Google TV harnesses the power of search and online media to the breadth of broadcast television, but does the Revue deliver? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

DISH Network offers Logitech Revue to subscribers for $179
The Logitech Revue Google TV set-top box was something I was interested in until all the major networks started to block Google TV from accessing their online programming. That has really hurt the appeal of the system to me since I mostly wanted to be able to watch shows I missed and didn’t have the DVR space to record.

Logitech Revue teardown reveals the inevitable
It's not so much a rite of passage, now, but an honor to be considered geekily-cool enough to be subject to an iFixit teardown, and latest to splay its circuits across the test bench is the Logitech Revue. The standalone Google TV STB has given up its secrets quite readily, with plenty of standard Phillips-head screws and generally standard connectors.

Why $100 is the sweet spot for the right set-top box
The set-top box market is heating up. Currently, the Apple TV is on store shelves, along with the new Logitech Revue, several Roku boxes, and many more products that are vying for your wallet. The only issue is, there isn’t a single device on the market right now that delivers everything consumers are really looking for. And the reason why is quite simple: they’re all overpriced.
Logitech Revue Android controller app hits Market
Logitech's Google TV remote control app has landed in the Android Market, turning your smartphone into a touchscreen controller for the new internet-centric Logitech Revue.

Why Google TV Will Be Best Without the Set-Top Box
As you know from my columns here, I’m a bit of an entertainment nut. Whether it’s video games or a set-top box, I’m always looking for the latest and greatest device to satiate my desire for high-quality content that’s available whenever I call upon it.
That’s precisely why I’m so excited to get my hands on Google TV. The search giant’s platform strikes me as a product that does everything the Apple TV should have done. It allows me to search the Web, pull content from just about everywhere, and enjoy some of the apps that I currently use on my smartphone. It’s simply a full-featured product that I’m looking forward to using.
