Logitech’s Revue Google TV box is now available for pre-order for $US299, revealing a host of new features – HD calling, a wide array of controls, myriad apps and – if you order today, it’ll arrive by the end of the month.
We’ve known that the Logitech Revue will be the first Google TV box, and now an Engadget tipster has spilled the all-important when and how much: Revue’s supposedly coming September 29 for $US299. Unless you’re a Dish Network subscriber.
It may have already crept into a young girl’s bedroom, but for the rest of us, Google TV will creep onto US TVs later this year and the rest of the world next year.

You know those commercials that leave you totally mystified, like “how did this possibly get created?” This Logitech Revue promo video, in which a hairy-legged, Peeping Tom TV set creeps up on a teenage girl in bed, is like that.
Logitech’s Revue, their set-top-box Google TV machine, just hit the FCC and got all of its parts documented. That it’s powered by a 1.2GHz Intel Atom processor and 4GB RAM isn’t surprising, but the fact that it has a built-in fan is.
