I believe you have to open it and solder the unit to root.

It's been confirmed by google and logitech both that this unit will get the official 3.1 update by the end of summer and more specifically by the end of september, so don't fret... This box will rule!

Was it not confirmed last year that we would have an major update by the first of THIS year???

No. Market was said to be coming in the spring and then was pushed back to summer likely due to Honeycomb.

Amazon.com is selling it for $99.99. But, the price is hidden. You have to go to the list of vendors and add it to cart from Amazon to see the $99 price. The Amazon price is hidden. I ordered a second one. For $100 it really suits my needs for a lot of things.

Can you provide a link? I see there's 36 sellers but none that I see are Amazon. It list "greatfun4u" as the seller on the main page. But I don't see Amazon listed anywhere as the seller.

Logitech has it available for $99. The price shows initially as $299, but it will go to $99 when you put it in the cart for purchase.

Logitech Revue

I saw that as well. It looks like Best Buy has it also. I like Amazon because it usually comes with free shipping and no tax. I'm not sure about the other sites.

Amazon.com: Used and New: Logitech Revue Companion Box with Google TV and Keyboard Controller

Amazon should be the top vendor. I believe they are showing $99 now, if not add to cart then look in the cart and it will be $99.

When I ordered one this morning they were still in stock. I guess the new price point makes it a good seller!

It look like you can order direct from Logitech for free shipping as well. I just wonder if you have to pay tax when ordering from them? I know most everything I order from Amazon has no tax.

It doesn't look like they charge tax.

 

[cditty]

I just ordered from Amazon. I trust them. I have waited this long. Ten more days will be no big deal.

Still showing $179- on the Dish website. Stemming from the other website, I anticipate Dish lowering the price well below $99-

3.1 beta is out: Download 1b3a6b1aa9fd.mp-signed-ota_update-b55579.zip from Uploaded.to, FileServe, FileSonic, FileHook, NetLoad, 2Shared. Some testers report Netflix is broken, but the UI is much better.

It's extremely beta. Google hasn't loaded any compatible apps into the Market yet. So until someone figures out how to side-load apps, there isn't much to do and there's a lot that's buggy and broken. You have been warned!

 

[TheKrell]

Definitely not for the faint of heart. Here are the directions to flash the beta: Honeycomb beta for Logitech Revue leaked | Android Central. I'm now leaning toward that $99 box before all stock is gone.
