Yes when Google TV gets honeycomb it will be a huge factor it's favour. Here are the things this box is better at than Google TV.
-Has the market
-Is based on ARM not Intel. Most games for android have pieces of code that will only run on ARM processors so you wont be able to play them on the Revue unless the developers update the games.
-It is cheaper
The Revue beats it in all other ways I would say.
Like I said you can get this from dealExtreme 151USD with free shipping FV-1 Google TV Box Android 2.2 Internet TV Box w/ WiFi/USB/RJ45/HDMI/SD (4GB/SAMSUNG S5PV210 1GHz) - Free Shipping - DealExtreme
Thanks for the reply. Since I do a lot of typing I would want a good quality wireless keyboard with trackpad. The price you quoted of $151 just includes a hand-held remote controller and NOT a wireless keyboard. The Revue had been selling for $199 recently on Amazon (and this includes free shipping and a high quality Logitech wireless keyboard w/ trackpad). Currently the Revue is selling for about $220 on Amazon. So a good quality wireless keyboard w/ trackpad I would say costs at least $50. (I'm not talking about some el-cheapo keyboard). So really it's not like this new box is offering some HUGE price savings over the Logitech Revue (except maybe if you don't want a good keyboard with it). Also you listed the ARM chip as a benefit for games- thanks for pointing that out - however the Intel chip is faster it's a 1.2 GHz SOC. The ARM chip is cheaper and slower.
