Netbook as a Remote aka Tremote

<< < (40/45) > >>

Merv:
 I intend to get a tablet pc in the near future to act as a remote for MC, but could someone give me some idea as to what can and cant be done with touch screens & MC, the main thoughts I've got are:

 Asuming both machines are running Windows 7,

 1/Does the Tablet PC (remote) have to run the Obsidian Touchscreen skin ? and does the HTPC also have to run the Obsidian Touchscreen skin ?

 2/Can you run different skins on both machines ?

 3/Can you control the Tablet PC by touch using Standard View ?

Thanks  :)

i had bought the asus t91mt touch screen. and its independent. meaning anything you can do with mouse you can do with your finger. any skin, and yes it works in theaterview. and yes you can have diffrent skins... basically from what i played around with when i had it it was just like having  amouse hooked up to it. hope that helps.

Merv:
Thanks thats useful info, thought there might be some limits to what would work together.

 I think one limitation maybe the slow proccessor used in these touch screen tablet PCs when it comes to loading the database from the main machine, but I guess once loaded, if you leave it switched on ...?

HTPC4ME:
not sure. all i know is i tested it, tweaked it to the max. and was slow as heck.. returned it and now in search of perfect remote.

Merv:
xptunes works quite well on iphone / ipod if you dont mind the small screen
