Did Logitech order production freeze of Revue?

From CNET News.com: Rumors are starting to get passed around that Logitech has ordered a production freeze of the company's set-top box, Revue, until Google finishes upgrades to Google TV.

Nancy Morrison, a Logitech spokeswoman, told CNET that while she could not comment on a report from the blog Digitimes.com that the company ordered Gigabyte Technology to suspend shipments of Revue set-tops until sometime in January, Logitech continues to ship Revue.

Earlier this week, The New York Times reported that Google had asked several TV manufacturers, including Toshiba and LG Electronics, to postpone plans to unveil their Internet-connected sets at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next month until it overhauls the software platform.

Google TV lets users access the Web on a TV. The system has met with mixed reviews because of the software's complexity and its inability to access content from the largest broadcast networks. That isn't a technology problem. The networks have chosen to block the software from accessing their shows.

Google didn't respond to an interview request, but the company has stated publicly that it is happy with the performance of Google TV.
