If you mean LMS that is completely unrelated to the failure of the
Revue.  Revue has been out for over a year, only now is LMS a part of
the defunct Revue.

I'd bet the vast majority of Revue and Roku type buyers never even use
the "server" aspects of these boxes.  Maybe a slightly higher number of
users might try playing some of their mp3's on them, but the pics &
video section are largely not utilized in regards to ones own
collection.  Of the four Roku players currently available only one (the
$99 unit) even has a USB port.  People mostly buy these for the content,
server aspects go widely unused.

In this consumer hardware category, content is everything, and the
Revue had next to no content.  Even if GoogleTV actually worked as
expected it would still relegate the Revue into the "why buy a Revue
when a Roku box at half the price has 100 times more content" category.
;)

I'd assume they were planning to add more content, guess we'll never
know.  But they made no effort to add much (any?) content while they
were waiting for GoogleTV to get their act together.
