Google TV (Logitech Revue) application review

Recently I got Google TV Logitech Revue. Here I list the apps which could run in Google TV with 3.1 update. Now the price of Logitech Revue is very reasonable. 
Since the Logitech discontinues this product, now it's the best time to get it. Although the apps are not enough for Google TV, it's still a huge potential to get better in the near further. (think about one year before, the situation of Andriod tablet).
It has 2 versions of release for Logitech Revue:
1. Logitech Revue with keyboard.  Click here. Usually 99.99
2. Logitech Revue with keyboard and HD Camera. Click here. Usually 129.99

Sony also offers the Google TV box:
Sony NSZ - GT1 with keyboard and blu-ray disc player.  Click here. Usually 199.99

Almost same stuff, but Sony has a bit faster CPU and more storage plus Blu-Ray player. Since I've already have that and PS3, I just choose logitech revue.
Logitech Revue: 1 GB.
Sony: 8 GB.

The list is collected from GTVHacker and GoogleTVForums as well as I personally tested.
