Logitech Revue Android App Now Available

By Matthew Chung on 10/21/2010, filed in Home > CellPhones

Logitech has increased its support for Google’s offerings by introducing its Google TV remote control app to the Android Market, allowing users to control their Logitech Revue using their Android-powered devices. The app offers a trackpad, keyboard, along with virtual buttons for adjusting the volume and switching channels. Setup will apparently be a cinch if both the Android device and Revue are running on the same Wi-Fi network. The Logitech Revue already ships with its own hardware keyboard remote and is already compatible with Logitech’s universal remotes, that being said, one more remote won’t hurt, since we have a tendency to lose them. An iOS version of the app is also in the works, but it hasn’t been released just yet.
