It’s a given that the Nexii will have the latest and greatest. Surprisingly, my Droid 4 has a (barely) functional 4.2 ROM now. Funny how things change.

With XBMC in general? Yes, but you may have to re-write some of the config files to map the buttons to what you want them to do. I had an old knock-off Windows MCE remote that came with my dad’s dell XPS and I had to completely reprogram it to do what I wanted it to do. They’ll probably offer the same functionality for Android eventually (if they haven’t already).

And why can’t Microsoft also build in a browser with internet full access on the xbox 360? it is just like a computer.

no, but your post made it seem like nothing other than the brand new nexus devices had it. guess I misinterpreted

Definitely have some custom roms out there with 4.2…

I’m sorry, but I’m not going to cry any tears for the 4.2 users, considering how short a time period 4.2 has been out. Not even the custom ROMs are up to it yet.

XBMC is one of the best media and video library players in the world, if not *the* best. http://www.XBMC.org

It’s a full UI for video collection browsing, playback, and exploration including lots of add-ons such as PVR (with receiver support), YouTube, Netflix, etc. We’ve been waiting for a good Android port for quite some time.

I am completely lost…what does this do? I clicked on the Twitter widget last night and it automatically started to download…I stopped the download and went to their “forum” that explains nothing and has no threads that make sense or have more than 5 comments! Is it a remote PC app like Team Viewer?

Doesn’t work on a 360. You are correct in that they are talking about using a 360 controller on a pc. I don’t know if 360 controllers work on Android, but it may also refer to such a case.

xbmc doesn’t run on a 360 does it? the article almost makes it sound like it does – but it must mean a 360 controller on a pc…

XBMC n00b here: is it possible to use a PS3 controller with the keyboard attachment to control XBMC? Not just on Android, but XBMC in general.
