After reading reviews and the crappy-ness of the what could of been awesome remote function (only does very few things). I think I have given up on tablets for now , or atleast till the next shiny thing comes out lol.

I guess I was hoping for too much. Will have to keep eye out for something else down the road. It would of been sweet to have a universal remote also be a WMC/XMBC extension.

Not sure what the Visio 8 inch tablet issues were, but I've been really disappointed with Android Honeycomb in general. My rooted Nook Color with Android 2.2 runs better and more stably than any 10 inch Honeycomb tablet I've used.

So I returned all the Honeycomb tablets I've tried. I'm waiting on Android 4. Probably will see these tablets in October.

The other suckage with most Honeycomb tablets was the Nvidia Tegra 2 processor is just too feeble at playing back HD video. Hopefully the newer processors from Qualcomm and Nvidia will be doing a better job.

And finally having Android unified again will be very good. Hopefully when I get a new tablet and new phone this fall, I'll be able to run the same OS on both.

Well, the tablet is on 2.3. It was sluggish, but could playback video ok. The IR blaster is what interested me over other tablets. But apparently it is not really a learning remote and has a tiny database of codes to use. Basically power, volume and few others.. too basic. I was hoping for something more featured to use for the receiver & tv. If someone writes a better app to make use of the IR blaster I might have interest in it. But it is a waste as is. I am better off just waiting for a better tablet
