Still says "coming soon" on the website so I am assuming no one has gotten notices yet. That im sure on to. After last podcast they said a new podcast should come after 2 weeks and on Friday this week it have taken 4 weeks. So already a delay on that and that a new Website should be up in the end of April or the beginning of May so only hope this happen this week with alot of news. Otherwise they must come with information or a statement at least i hope.

Multiple apps to control everything?? Just buy a universal remote app like iRule or Roomie Remote. I use iRule and love it! You can control everything from one app that has a feel, look and layout you control. Set up macros that work across all your devices, control things via IP, IR, or RS-232. Control your entire house without having to switch between apps. Heck, control your home when you aren't at home. You are not dependent on the company to come up with an app with something like iRule or Roomie. So if Emo decides not to launch an IP driven app, you don't care. You've already got full control. Well I'll be, the Roomie looks slick, too bad it's only for Apple products, I'm testing the IRule, do you have the pro or standard? I'm thinking the app won't be better than Oppo's or even Direct TV's, but it'll get me going until the App for the XMC-1 is available then I'll see from there. I like the Oppo app, you can list the music from an attached storage right on the tablet instead of the TV. It makes navigating your music collection from another room a breeze. I may wind up switching between the iRule and the Oppo a lot, but that's OK for now. Thanks for recommendation. Sorry Geebo, I'm not a big fan of the Harmony app, it's a bit restricted from what I saw and that blaster thing won't fit in my cabinet. I did have a look at it though. It seems that the manufactures put a few more features in their app than their remotes,probably cause there's more room and it can switch screens easier. Switching between remote apps on the Nexus 7 isn't difficult either, so that's why I prefer the manufactures app over a "universal" type. Another plus for manufacturer's apps is they are usually free. Haven't been able to find any restrictions to the Harmony / Android app. It does everything I've been able to think of. And being WiFi / RF I can control anything as long as I'm within range of my router. But that's me and you may have other needs.

I will send more infer via PM so that this thread isn't detailed from the XMC.
