Android tablets become great remote controls
We have seen a lot of cheap tablets Android pop up in recent months, including the infamous eye GenTouch78 tablet. What makes these pills appealing is the low price – often they go for less than $ 200. Some are even lower than $ 150 set. But you get what you pay, and for this price you usually end up with a lousy resistive touch screen, a slow processor, an older version of Android, and limited memory and disk space.
In other words, $ 150 tablet is not just Apple IPAD killer. But if you do not expect to be, it turns out, these little guys can actually be quite useful. For example, if you are thinking about dropping $ 150 on a digital eBook reader, but does not need the high contrast display, or the day-to-end rechargeable batteries, you can use the same amount of money for a tablet, can spend reading the books , surf the Internet, and much more – even if it malfunctions.
The folks at Neuros have found other users for this cheap tablets: remote controls for home media systems. Neuros make Sat line of digital media devices that you use to record TV programs, streaming media can from your PC to a TV screen or web videos and other online content on a TV. A problem with this sort of hardware is that people usually do not sit in front of the TV with a mouse and keyboard – unlike Toshiba Satellite L655D-S5066 it is difficult, all the buttons, you really need to fit on a handheld remote control.
Enter the cheap tablet that runs Android Apps is a third party. Neuros offers a 7-inch Tablet it calls the Control Teblet 1002nd It is normally priced at $ 149.99, but during a probationary period Neuros it sells for only $ 99.99. That’s the cheapest Android tablets makes for sale in the U.S. right now. It is also not an unreasonable price for a powerful Media Center remote control.
And you know pretty much get what you pay for. It has a 600MHz ARM-based VIA CPU, 128MB memory, 2GB of memory, a 800 x 480 pixel display and a resistive touch screen.
But the Tablet Control Neuros have worked in 1002 802.11b/g/n WiFi, and it can run apps, including remote control apps for PC applications like Boxee or VLC – both running on the Neuros Link media devices. This means you can use the tablet to media playback on your TV control and Neuros not even on a special application to control its set-top boxes link design. Boxee VLC and applications are available to the public as free downloads.
The fact that you watch your remote control to surf the web, video or other actions is all just gravy. Sure, it would be nice if it made these things well, but you can not have it all.
