Smart Glass for Xbox

Anyone been using this? - Thoughts?

Just started using this last night and its finally getting towards the way I wish to control my console for entertainment. The virtual controller they have on it is a bit pants though.

Yeah tried it, seems pointless to me.

Waste of time until games start using it. Forza Horizon had support briefly and then it was pulled.

I even used it with horizon before it was pulled from iOS, was pointless also really, it took seconds to go to the map in game and do as you needed. Having to look away from the screen while trying to drive to set a new point on the map on your ipad would see you crash or slow to a stop anyway. It could be put to use in some games I guess like the Wii U.

It's best use is for typing, and that's it.

I haven't actually used it for games and didn't even know you could...I was referring more to using the Xbox as a media hub...although it would be nice if I could use it to mirror my iPad to the TV without ATV

It's OK for using IE on there, that's all I've used it for.

It would be nice to be able to have chosen the background music from a USB or network device through smart glass rather than bringing up the dashboard interface
