Logitech Falls Prey To Google?s Beta Mentality, To The Tune Of $100 Million

Since its very first moments in the public eye, Google TV has been something of a disappointment. Attendees of Google I/O 2010 will recall the product's flubbed launch demo, when a series of connectivity problems prevented Google TV's product leads from actually controlling the device, leading to some remarkably awkward pauses. They finally got it working ? sort of ? but the promise of an easy-to-use internet/TV hybrid was tarnished by the fact that it clearly wasn't so easy to use. As it turned out, the demo was only a taste of things to come. It's long been known that Google TV hasn't been a hit, and during an Analyst and Investor event on Wednesday Logitech announced some concrete numbers outlining just how badly its Google TV-powered device, the Logitech Revue, wound up hurting it in the end. The final tally? Over $100 million.
