Last year, GoogleTV was the hot new thing that Smart TV enthusiasts were talking about. We’ve seen how well that worked out for companies like Logitech (i.e., not at all) – so this year, manufacturers are trying again, but with Google’s Android OS, not their Android-powered GoogleTV. Can Samsung’s inTouch succeed where Logitech’s Revue failed?

Logitech has made it official, calling the Logitech Revue a “mistake of implementation of a gigantic nature,” and while the CEO doesn’t shy away from taking some of the blame, it’s clear that much of his ire is directed squarely at Google. The search giant’s TV efforts were originally viewed with interest, but so far, nobody’s been impressed.
