Looks like a lot of bang for the bucks. Any obvious catches?

Can any of you post a screenshot of your tablet with the XBMC remote running? I am curious to see since I do not think there are any special layouts being used for tablet. It will basically be an inflated version of the regular Android app. Which makes me wonder why I would care to run it on a tablet as opposed to my phone.

There's no Google Market support without some odd voodoo, and getting anything higher than 2.0 installed is more luck than skill at this point. I use it as a decent ereader, and mobile web browser around the house. The "Google Experience" (Gmail, Gchat, Maps, all the stuff linked to a Google account) can be added, but it can casue slow downs. |

@estrada42: Doesn't sound too bad for 60 bucks.
@all: Tablet users check out this build here: The remote control should now resize correctly. Also if you have a non-tablet phone with a weird resolution let me know if this still displays okay.

Wide TV show banners Look really good. When you consider I bought this EXCLUSIVELY for XBMC Android Remote, its so much cooler than the $100+ Harmony remotes. Not being able to control my TV or stereo is a small price to pay for seeing someone freak out when I hand them the tablet and say "Find something to watch, it's a touchscreen." |

It would also be awesome if you could make the TV Shows and the Now Playing sections rotate when i flip my tablet sideways (landscape mode). It doesn't seem to be an issue with any of the other sections. It's not a huge problem, just annoying. Just want to know if it's on your to do list! |

Speaking of the galaxy tab, until we have an xbmc port, I would love to see the xbmc remote fill& fit the screen which currently is too big for the remote
