My hope is that XBMC comes around to this one way or another.

could be a game changer for a lot of things.

Good comeback, I'm trying to make sense of it all now Smile

I was kinda feeling out, to see if any XBMC devs were amongst the 10,000 that got a dev kits or even applied.

I am guessing it interacts with the computer just as a usb keyboard or mouse would. If that's the case, it shouldn't be a big deal to get it working with xbmc (as long as they have the proper linux drivers and such)

But then again, this device is meant for personal computer use, I don't know how good it would be for 10 foot/htpc use

Sure you can keep the device next to you on the couch and use it instead of a remote, but remember that this device is tethered to usb

I think a kinect-like system would be a better option for htpc use
