HDX iPad app
Posted by: oscarskeeper on 04 November 2010
Afternoon all
having just purchased a new HDX (which is fantastic!), I am dithering about which way to go on controlling it. I would like to use either an iPod or ipad. However, I note that the iPod app does not presently scaled to fit the ipad screen. Does anybody know when a version for the iPod will be available?
Furthermore, does anybody know whether a free upgrade will be available for people who have already purchased the nserve application for the iPod. I really do not want to pay £25 for it and then find I have to pay the same again for the HD version.
I'm also going to take this opportunity to provide a bit of customer feedback and join those who have suggested that £25 for the application is too much. Whilst as I say I am very happy with my purchase, given its price, one might well expect that some sort of touch remote was provided-the supplied remote is not really any use as if you are close enough to read the screen, you can use your hands! A non-branded iPod which only ran the application would be perfect. However, I suspect this is far from practical. It does however seem a bit cheeky to charge north of £4500 for something and then charge its owner another £25 for the software to control it. I appreciate that there is an argument saying that if it was included everyone would be paying for it, even those who did not use the iPod/iPod control method, but I do wonder how many of those are really out there.
Many thanks
