I know everyone is really anxious to get their hands on this update but I can assure you that there are reasons we haven't released it. I understand a few peoples points about the android community as a whole. But I must mention that the same android community has also constantly ridiculed the GTV platform (at least in my opinion) and has mostly fallen out in the previous months. Our team has been working with the platform for almost a solid year now and after the all the work and effort we ask the community to wait a few days (News was released Thursday). This really shouldn't have been that hard of a request for everyone. We have not given an eta thus far but just keep waiting and I'm sure everyone will have what they are looking for soon. Below is a small list of things we've noticed about the update:
The Bad
-Sound problems while watching TV including sound turning off during channel changes and playing/pausing (Remedied by changing the channel or pressing the play/pause button a few times)
-NO NETFLIX!
-Some apps display content vertically
-No root so far (also this means that we are still stuck with content provider blocks for non rooted devices)
-Once you upgrade to this build there is currently no going back to 2.1
-Atom cpu is incompatible ith 99.9% of the stuff on the market
-GAPPS does not work, or at least we haven't been able to get it to.
The Good
-System seems to preform smoother
-New UI is clean and compliments features very well
-TV/Movie listings now display what look like DVD covers when available
-Live Wallpapers
-Market
-ADBD
When everyone does get there hands on this they need to remember that this is BETA, it is not intended to be widely used by the general consumer and has numerous bugs. If that is something you don't care about and would like to risk anyway, then by all means install the update (when its released). Hell, if you want to help the revue out as a whole go buy another one ( preferably from
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/smartTV/revue ), at $99 its worth just the remote control/keyboard functionality.
But please do not install the update and then complain about this or that not working until they release a final build.
