The idea of using tablets with the 360 is cool but the applications they showed were lacking. I don't need a new remote, the other consoles have similar/equivalent Netflix apps, and I don't watch any shows that would actually be made better by having to look away from the TV to get more info.
It looks interesting, at least as a tech demo. But I don't know what the practical benefits are yet.

Not at all impressed with it. It's just essentially unified remote for Xbox. More of a distracting curiosity than a useful product.

I haven't used my Xbox since the app came out for Android and I'm not sure I care to. Nothing on it seems really interesting. Also, it runs through the internet, not just straight to the console, which means there's a lag AND both the console and phone must be connected.
I gave it a go. Neat tech demo. But it's harder to use than the controller or my Harmony One for basic nav. And it requires Gold Live to use the Browser. So I don't see any use for me.
