>So, let me be very clear, it was never our strategy to make money out of set top boxes for Google TV. Our choice to build one was a choice driven by their willingness to accelerate the adoption of the platform and to be part of the first wave of people that could influence its development. - Guerrino De Luca, Logitech CEO source
It's unclear if this was their real goal, or a post-hoc rationalization of R&D dollars for investors. While the Revue was a commercial failure, it did help to accelerate the GoogleTV platform. If it does take off, Logitech is wise to be ready with compatible Harmony remote offerings, as well as keyboards, and webcams.
The rumors are that they're releasing the Honeycomb update for the Revue and others. Announced months ago and leaked recently in various forms.
I have a Netgear WNR3500L with Tomato installed on it. I have a 1 TB USB hard drive plugged into the router. I have Transmission installed as an optware package on the router, which then can be accessed from the browser on any computer on the network. Torrent files are then uploaded to Transmission, downloaded to the hard drive, and then automatically shared via the built in MiniDLNA client that comes with Tomato. Finally, I use the Media Player application on my NSX-32GT or the Logitech Media Gallery on my Revue to watch the files.
This is the best way to do it IMHO as the files are then accessible to the entire network.
