I know this unit was VERY popular when it was sold a BBY. They would be foolish not to bring it back. I let others elaborate on what's going on with this unit.

Last I knew, both Sony and LG were supposed to be putting the Google TV features into their units, but I haven't heard much about the Revues.  At first, we had heard that they were going to put out another model, but nothing ever showed up and I haven't bothered to research it. 

I'd Google-search for it...but I'm feeling lazy tonight and want to watch the new Full Metal Alchemist movie that I just bought.

It wont be coming back Logitech discontinued it in November of 2011. And then they publicly stated the Revue was a "big mistake" De Luca CEO of Logitech even stated that logitech "executed a full scale launch with a beta product, a decision that resulted in a $100 million loss for the company when consumer demand failed to meet expectations" and in the same release went on to say "Google TV may yet have success in the market but that any such developments are some time away and will not involve Logitech."

So unless something drastic changes there will never be another Google TV powered Logitech device.

Thanks, Neihn. Sums it up perfectly. Logitech should have charged more for the unit. Perhaps they could have broke even. Technophobes and slackers seemed to really gravitate toward this device.
