Tablets as Remotes
#1
What specific features (OS, screen rez, etc) do you suggest for Android tablets that will primarily be used as an XBMC remote?

Along the same lines are there any tablets I should avoid all together?

Nexus 7 works fine using the official Android remote app and Yatse.

Another benefit is that I can stream music and videos from my XBMC system to the tablet via UPnP using the MediaHouse and MX Player apps.

I will have to look into those. I was thinking for streaming to tablets that the only option was Plex. Nice to know I was wrong. I've also heard there is an Android build for XBMC too. So much to learn! Tongue

I have not Googled it yet, but what is UPnP?

For a tablet I was looking at this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Google-Play-Andr...1c302c3d7b

You need to have at least 10 posts before the [+/-] button for adding rep points is displayed on the lower-left corner of each post next to [PM] [FIND]. So, just one more post and you should see it. Smile
