Logitech has put their Google TV remote control app for free at the Android Market, which could make controlling everything from your couch really easy, provided that you’ve already bought Logitech’s $299 Revue kit and own an Android phone. The app features a trackpad and keyboard, as well as the typical remote buttons for shifting channels and volume control.
Okay, we get it. With all the new electronics that stretch from smartphones, handheld consoles, and ebook readers to laptops, desktops and tablets, we’re all guilty of ignoring the good ‘ol boob tube these days. We know we have. (Although when the flatscreen’s showing actual boobs, we do tend to drop our iPhones.) Anyway, Logitech is looking to change all that with the Revue, their Google TV-based set top box, and they’ve been putting out a series of teaser ads to drum up the hype before the stated fall release. All par for the marketing course, and the ads do give out a clear message. Despite the supposed-to-be-cute theme, the TV with the big eye and mouth that keeps popping out of nowhere is a bit freaky though. We haven’t been this freaked out by a TV since Poltergeist.
Check out the ads after the break.
