Logitech does not sell well Google TV
Google seems that there are two things that are good, one is social networks, other systems are to television. Specifically, it is Google TV, Google's big bet to bet half so hard to attack as video receivers for the living room. Google opted for a product based on Apple powerbook g4 15 inch battery but specially modified so that the navigation is good on a television screen. Google TV was born, an operating system calls for set-top box (which comes to the players) that would be available to manufacturers.
Finally, only a handful of brands to choose Google TV decided to integrate it into their systems, the most famous have been Logitech, Sony and Samsung, but these three, only Logitech has been the one to decide to sell a product with Google TV. Thus he came to the U.S. market Logitech Revue. While Sony vgp-bps8 and Samsung have had problems with the development of TVs with integrated TV Google, well, problems or seeing sales and has had problems, have decided it is better to be expected.
This week have left the economic performance of Logitech (link to PDF), but we are going to bore you with lots of numbers, just say that Logitech has managed to make five million dollars selling this Logitech Revue. Only in the U.S., now the question is: is this a short or long? The answer is little. Logitech was expecting $ 18 million.
Logitech has failed to sell as many terminals with Toshiba pa3465u 1brs as expected, because by now in the U.S. games players are a pretty tough business to enter, taking systems such as Roku that allows you to stream video from many sites on demand as Netflix. Google TV solution for this type of video is directly using the browser and the Flash Player plugin to reproduce any contents, but did not take long to generate problems. U.S. chains one after another began to block Google TV could not do streaming video because Google did not distribute them as the revenue generated from Google TV to the TV networks.
Can a second generation of Google TV Logitech improve sales? There are more problems than the Toshiba satellite a205 battery, the biggest problem, at least in the U.S. is the lack of content available, but everything seems to be a reluctance of Google to improve and develop the software. Just have to see how many updates for Android smartphones are, how many for Google TV? Let it be known only bug fixes.
And now the hot spot, is Google TV ready to be used internationally? It seems that unless you're a country where you have many sites on-demand video streaming, Google is not interested in Google TV out on any product, at least until xps m1330 battery and Samsung if they finally decide to use this system broadcasters operating in their products.
