Logitech Revue Update 4.2.2
With the big Google I/O keynote ending just moments ago, Google announced a lot of new amazing products and services but there was something they left out. No, we’re not talking about the — we’re talking about Google TV. Yes, Google’s red-headed stepdroid was all but left out of today’s big announcements, leaving some — like our resident Google TV evangelist Edgar Cervantes — furious. The official word straight out of Google IO 2013 is that the Android-for-television platform will soon be updated to Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. This software update is actually a pretty huge jump for the platform as previously Google TV was “up-to-date” running Honeycomb.

This means that Google TV will skip over Ice Cream Sandwich completely, and finally catch up to its smartphone and tablet counterparts, putting them all on an equal playing field for the first time ever. In other news, Chrome was also updated for Google TV, also bringing it to the same version number as is found on smartphones and tablets. Chrome for Google TV will get the same treatment as mobile Android devices, following the same 6 week update schedule as well.
