One of the major reasons the Logitech Revue Google TV set-top box didn’t catch on is that it launched for $299, a price point that was hard to swallow for a first-gen device. Logitech bailed and put it on $99 clearance (which is when I got one).

Sony is learning from Logitech’s mistakes and is launching its new NSZ-GS7 Google TV set-top box at $199, a more reasonable price point, especially for a device running the latest version of Google TV. It also comes with a QWERTY keyboard remote with a track pad/button combo on the flip side. Looks like a very nice package, and now you can pre-order one from J&R. No word on when it will ship, but the page does state it’s “coming soon”.

The Apple TV remote is still the nicest one I’ve used. Mind you, for QWERTY input it’s better to use the Remote app for iOS. But otherwise, it only has like 3 buttons and a d-pad, and they could probably remove the pause/play button as the center button does the same thing most of the time.

Something like a Boxee remote has the right idea for the smartphone-less.

The remote looks sweet. I might end up buying one of these, but in the future, I am not sure if there is going to be much of a difference between an Android home theatre box or the Google TV.
