Android + Logitech = A harmonious combination

Aside from the big news of Android 2.2, the other big announcement at Google I/O was the development of Google TV. Logitech has partnered with Google to offer a set-top box that will work seamlessly with Google TV, but the partnership doesn’t end there. From Logitech’s blog:

In my last post, I was pleased to announce Logitech + Google TV and I mentioned that the Logitech companion box will leverage our Harmony remote technology to give you seamless control over how you interact with your content.

But how exactly is Logitech’s Harmony technology come into play with Google TV? We will be offering an app that turns your smart phone (Android-based phones and iPhones) into a full featured, high-end Harmony remote.

This dual branding will take seamless entertainment to a whole new level. It will be interesting to see if Logitech will offer the app for free.
