Logitech Revue gets official: Google TV companion box coming this Fall
Posted on June 18, 2010 | No CommentsWell, lookie here -- Logitech's Revue is official, and it's coming this Fall to make your HDTV even smarter. We knew from day one that Logi had been tapped to produce one of the first Google TV set-top boxes ever, and details on the little guy have been trickling out ever since. Described as a "Google TV companion box," the device is expected to "combine everything on the web, cable and satellite [with] apps, video calling and more." We're told to be patient for specs and further deets, so we suppose we'll do just that. While pouting.

Logitech’s ‘companion box’ gets a name: Revue with Google TV
Posted on June 16, 2010 | No CommentsSure we've already had our eyes all over Logitech's CE4100-powered Google TV box and given its WiFi controls on iPhone and Nexus One a try, but we didn't know exactly what to look for (or, according to Steve, what we'd probably be avoiding) when it hit stores. That's been put to rest, as the above picture we received reveals we can expect the Logitech Revue with Google TV. Obviously reminiscent of the "with Google" Android branding on handset, the name also ties into its ability to bring together multiple forms of entertainment, we'll see this this fall if slick branding is enough to get buyers and developers behind the return of Web TV.

Ask Engadget HD: Which HDTV for a Father’s Day gift?
Posted on June 16, 2010 | No CommentsIt's that time of year, and sometimes a card and "Thanks for being there, Dad" just isn't going to cut it. It's high time the old man had an HDTV upgrade, and we're going to make sure Amir gives him a worthy one:
You've got the requirements, works well even in a brightly lit room, he's looking for plenty of size for his dollars, and a budget of roughly $2k. Is a Sony LCD really the best option or would you go in another direction? Let us know what you would do if you were in Amir's shoes, or what you'd get for your Dad."Hey Engadget HD It's almost Father's Day and some of the best TVs are on sale. I need an HDTV that works great in just about the brightest room, so I know it needs to be an LCD, right? It needs to be as big as possible because it's replacing a 75 inch Mitsubishi projection HDTV that we can't see during the day, and around a max of $2000. I keep going back to Sony because I trust their products. Any suggestions?"
Got a burning question that you'd love to toss out for Engadget HD (or its readers) to take a look at? Tired of Google's blank stares when you ask for real-world experiences? Hit us up at ask at engadgethd dawt com and keep an eye on this space -- your inquiry could be next.Ask Engadget HD: Which HDTV for a Father's Day gift? originally appeared on Engadget HD on Wed, 16 Jun 2010 13:54:00 EST.

What is Google TV? (video)
Posted on June 16, 2010 | No CommentsGoogle's reveal of Google TV wasn't exactly flawless. After technical issues wreaked havoc with the live launch demonstration, many of us found it nearly impossible to focus just as soon as we heard mention of IR blaster control. Fear not, Google has returned with a two and half minute video that breaks it down like we were kindergartners. So grab your blanky and Mr. Tickle, the embedded video is available after the break.

Google Maps, Facebook come to Samsung TVs & Blu-ray players
Posted on June 11, 2010 | No CommentsWe still don't know if Samsung will put Google's Android into its TVs, but it has recently launched Google Maps and Facebook as a part of its existing Samsung Apps platform. There aren't a lot of details in the press release (included after the break) but buyers of most of the 2010 line HDTVs, Blu-ray players and HTIB systems should have access to them. We've seen demos of how Samsung Apps can tie phones and TVs together easily, but can a mere Google Maps app match the Google TVs ability to push info back and forth from device to device? The Facebook app on Xbox 360 is moderately useful if only as a way to browse photo albums on the HDTV, so we'll also be waiting to find out if it will at least match that functionality.
