Personally, a Honeycomb port for XBMC would be the bomb, just for running it on a Logitech Revue, which should be running Honeycomb (via an OTA update) in the next 30-60 days. Having run XBMC, Plex, MP and God knows how many other media centers over the years, the HDMI passthrough on the revue makes DVR integration the simplest thing ever. With XBMC and Samba capabilities, it'll pretty much become the holy grail of media players, IMHO.

I just picked up a asus transformer and if xbmc could be installed on this it would be icing on the cake. I really hope someone can do this in the near future as it seems like android is really picking up market and having xbmc on it would just make the experience complete for media playback.
THANKS xbmc Devs for all your work.

I think porting xbmc to Android is not necessary.
I have mounted all my media which i normally access from my xbmc htpc to my android tab.
There are a lot of apps that can play all the media files very comfortable. No need for xbmc. Only very high quality media (1080) is actually a problem. Its a wlan and/or tegra problem. Mkv,mp3,pdf,mp4,jpg...
What i have not found is an good app for movie file management and selection with imdb support...
PLEASE ADD TV SUPPORT TO XBMC BEFORE ANDROID SETTOP BOXES OR TABS/PHONES CONNECTED TO THE SCREEN WILL REPLACE THE HTPC AND XBMC.

I dont think XBMC is going to close shop if a tablet or phone can communicate to a TV.
But since this is free and open source, nothing stops "them" from ripping XBMC off in concepts.

I would probably prefer one type of sync instead of porting the whole XBMC for android.
what I mean is that when I start a movie on the Media Station to display it also on the plate. thus one can also see TV kannaler if you have TV tuner
