So, after getting my entertainment system set up in my new apartment and hooking up my various gaming consoles, I decided to try out the new Xbox Smartglass app that I had heard so much about. I figure, I've got an Android smartphone (HTC One X), a Nexus 10 tablet, and both a laptop and desktop both running Windows 8. Plus, I use my Xbox for media streaming all the time, so this should be a GREAT thing.
And, really, it is. Using my phone as a surrogate controller actually works really well, and there was a specific instance when I was watching TV with my family over Thanksgiving and my Dad wanted to show me an episode of Duck Dynasty, which I was able to find on my phone and then bring up on the Xbox with zero menu navigation.
