Some of the nicer ones have a little trackpad you can use to browse with.

Yeah, this box is pretty awesome once it's tweaked out. Here's some good resources for you:

(This link began when it first came out, so the beginning of the thread deals with some of the issues that have since been resolved.

I've heard from pretty much everyone that the first thing you should do is a factory restore. That fixes any bloatware and performance issues.

There's a newer version of Netflix you can get(I believe the link is in the first link above), that will let you view Netflix in HD.

If you just want XBMC and don't need the Android OS, you can also load Linux on it that will just run XBMC. But you're giving all resources to XBMC so it runs like a beast.

thanks. I had a feeling it was the exact same thing. From what I have been reading in the comments section, that keyboard remote is a real dud in that you have to constantly reconnect it so I just went with the standard remote for 10 bucks less. I'll let you know how it all works out. Really looking forward to messing with it.

If you end up wanting a more full featured remote (though the apps on iphones/ipads work great, btw, once you get them set up), I went with this one. I really like it:

Awesome. I already own that exact model. Got from Best Buy around Christmas for $20

Cool. It connects fine right out of the box, so you won't have to find drivers or anything (though shift key doesn't work sometimes).
