Logitech CEO: Google TV "Cost Us Dearly"
Dieter Bohn, writing for The Verge:
Yesterday, Logitech hosted an Analyst and Investor Day and during his remarks, CEO Guerrino De Luca pulled absolutely no punches in describing the "mistakes" the company made with its Logitech Revue Google TV set top box. Calling the company's Christmas 2010 launch "a mistake of implementation of a gigantic nature," De Luca told investors that the company had "brought closure to the Logitech Revue saga" by making plans to let inventory run out this quarter and that there are "no plans to introduce another box to replace Revue." I've always been a big fan of Logitech. I swear by my G500 mouse, G35 headset and their 2.1 Speakers/Subwoofer combo which I've used for years. That being said, I'm sympathetic towards Logitech over the finical losses they've suffered at the expense of being Google's guinea pig. Make sure you read the whole article. Lots of good quotes that I wanted to include here, but I didn't want to do so for fear of lifting too many parts of their post which I deem unethical.
