I see people bashing the Revue. I have one and I like it very much. I understand what it will do and what it wont. I use it to check email and use Facebook while watching the television using picture in picture feature. It is what it is, and it does what I want it to do without any problems. This price with the camera is a good deal. Sure you have to get a free Logitech account to use the camera, but you can communicate with your friends and family worldwide in HD for free.
Thanks for your views. I am on the fence with this one. I like the idea of using Playon to stream from my PC and if the Honeycomb is released for the Revue it could have a new lease of life. If Google take over Hulu demand should increase. Several 'if's' but fun to play around with in the meantime.
Does this have to be connected through the cable box or can it be connected straight to the TV? There is also the Sony NSZ-GT1 that has the built in Blu-ray player. I've thought about either of these, but again confused about the hook up requirements. Thanks.

Is google TV any good? It seems like you only get weird stuff no one wants to watch with online TV.
