Logitech who have gagged local management from discussing issues associated with their Google TV offering, has ordered a suspension of their new Logitech Revue offering which delivers Google TV via a set top box.
There has been no explanation from Logitech for the suspension however the Taiwanese DigiTimes is reporting that Gigabyte Technology who make cthe Google TV boxes for Logitech has a halt on all production for the device which is not yet being sold in Australia.
Recently Google said that they were not happy with its current TV operating system. In addition to telling companies not to mention their Google TV products at CES next month, now it looks like the search company is actively stopping production on a device that’s already been released.
After the Revue, as well as Sony’s Google TV-enabled Internet TV, received mediocre reviews and lackluster sales, Google appears to want to go back to the drawing board. Next month’s CES was supposed to be a grand celebration of the new television platform, but now Google TV will be notably absent.
TV companies like Toshiba and LG will have to make last-minute changes to their CES lineup, at the request of Google.
