Earlier this month, we brought you a comparison chart showcasing Apple TV, Google TV (Logitech Revue), and Roku side by side. Now, Computerworld has composed a more in depth look of what each platform has to offer and testing them on several different networks and TVs. The same HD shows were tested on each device using Netflix, Amazon Video On Demand, and for Apple TV, iTunes.

They concluded that while Apple TV gives you access to your paid iTunes library and YouTube content, there isn’t a whole lot of options if you’re looking for free content to watch. Roku is is a similar boat, but does give customers access a few more options, such as Archive.org’s Prelinger collection. Google TV (Logitech Revue) offers the most potential in terms of what it can do, but at three times the price of Apple TV, some customers may have a hard time forking out the dough for a platform that has yet to reach its full potential.

Hit up the source link below to check out Computerworld’s full comparison of Apple TV, Google TV, and Roku.

Our Logitech TV Cam demo unit arrived today, and although this is not a full review just yet, we wanted to show you a few photos we shot as we unboxed it and set it up for the first time.

The packaging was nice and compact, without a lot of extra fluff or unnecessary materials. The TV Cam comes with the camera itself, instruction manual, warranty, cleaning cloth, and USB extender for the camera’s cable. We’ll go into more detail regarding the setup and actual features when we do our formal review. For now, take a look at our photo gallery after the break.

Setting up a Logitech Revue is a 12 step process which ranges from adjusting your screen positioning, network preferences, establishing your set-top-box and TV model, and so on. While not necessarily complicated, especially for someone who is somewhat tech savvy, it certainly may seem a bit daunting for some users.
