Logitech Refuses to Reveal Whether it Suspended Google TV Shipments

From DailyTech: In The Wall Street Journal's blog Barron's, analysis Tiernan Ray shares the response he received from Logitech, when inquiring about a production delay.

The latest development follows a report by Monica Chen and Steven Shen of Taipei, Taiwan-based Digitimes, which cited unnamed "industry sources" as confirming that Logitech had suspended shipments of the Revue in response to poor customer reception.

Logitech's response to Mr. Ray notably does not deny this -- it merely denies that such an order came from Google. This is still noteworthy, as some assumed the order came from Google, after a previous WSJ report claimed that Google had told TV set vendors to delay the release of their upcoming Google TV offerings.

Also note, that while Logitech says "products" continue to ship, it's awfully vague about what those products are. Thus it's still anyone's guess whether Digitimes was right or wrong with regards to a production delay.

The Revue is a set-top box, which sports Google TV, an Android OS variant that adds a search engine, browser, and certain apps to your TV. The box is produced by Gigabyte and leverages an Intel Atom processor.
