Revue originally had absolutely nothing to do with LMS, LMS was just a late addition to help the product when the Google TV service didn't come by.
The Google TV (not Revue, Sony has the same issues) is not Logitech's poor product but Google's poor service and especially poor contracting. Google managed to overthrow itself with a lot of content providers and that was that for Google TV. What Logitech should have done would be to have an own understanding of the product and integrate it with things like the Squeezebox from the start. It was pretty obvious that a product like Google TV would not conquer the world in a day. I've seen this with other companies that are not strong enough in product management: they lean on a strong partner and hope that some contract will them big business. But it's not strong partners who bring you big business, it's good products. And to make a good product you have to understand what the product is about, you have to understand the customer and then it's all about the details. All the integration, the nitpicking small stuff, the design, the accessibility, in short: all that what Apple does so well. But you can't outsource that to whatever good partner, you need to have an own understanding or you will fail, just as has happened with Revue.
