Review: Logitech Revue with GoogleTV
- citizenkeys 16y agoWho else got one of these for free from Google? I got mine yesterday, was excited about it, and... calling the thing a "first-generation product" would be a generous compliment. I got the thing thinking that Google wanted me to write apps for it or something. The Revue came directly from Logitech. Google never sent me an email or provided any information about doing development with the box. There's also no developer tools provided by Google anywhere. The most I could find was "The Official Google TV Blog": http://googletv.blogspot.com/ http://googletv.blogspot.com/
- excid3 16y agoThat's interesting. I got an email and a document with it that had some links for development.
- citizenkeys 16y agoHow long ago did you get the actual device? I got mine yesterday. Yet to get anything from Google in email. There's no links on google.com/tv for developers, either. The closest is just one page with "more information coming soon." http://www.google.com/tv/developers.html http://www.google.com/tv/developers.html
- excid3 16y agoI got the email on November 4th, and about 4 weeks later got the device. "Dear Developer, As a valued Google Code web development community member & partner based in the U.S. you are eligible to receive a free Google TV device on our behalf. As we announced on our blog last week, we’re excited to be providing 10,000 free Google TV devices to help developers start building for TV."
- citizenkeys 16y agoHmm... my email just said that I was a winner in the "web developer promotion" and included a link to a promo code to order the device on logitech's site.
- excid3 16y agoMust have been a different giveaway. I'm pretty sure I got mine from attending Google I/O 2010.
