Secondly I find the protestations that this was difficult to implement, that it wasn't simply a case of taking a red crayon to the US version, that some of the delay was to achieve work arounds for home networking issues, and that it was important to launch before support for the latest version of the operating system was implemented to be so blatantly untrue that actually it borders on being offensive. What is so different from the US version, an app that looks and feels the same, and acts as a network remote whilst allowing you to watch TV on the move either streaming our downloaded, that it took two years to resolve? Genuinely, I'd love to know.
Thirdly, two devices at any one time is very limiting-we don't have loads of devices in our house, but two top end smart phones, a tablet and a laptop means we have 200% of the allowed devices. I suspect there are many reading this who are in a much more limited position.
All I can say is I really hope this is a work in progress-despite the wait being partly down to an apparent desire to launch a finished product. To launch an android app that is immediately unavailable to the very people who've chosen a vanilla android experience is just a joke and there is simply no way to justify it.
