Introducing v 1.3

Since some new cool functions have been implemented into the app, I want to present them in a few words:

Save playlists

Starting with v 1.2 the application allows to save playlists on your Android powered device. The playlists are saved locally on your device and can't be opened on another remote control, but used with any XBMC you're controlling with your device. Ensure that your database is shared, since the playlist will work only with the same database. Youtube and/or Radio.de playlists will work on any XBMC with the correct plugin installed.

Drag 'n Drop

Also starting with v 1.2, but greatly improved in v 1.3 the app supports drag and drop. Tap and hold on any playlist entry and reorder your playlist or just delete the item. Additionally nearly any database entry can be dragged and dropped into your playlists, allowing to easily organize and order your media.

That are just two of a lot of other new features, but both of these are really mentionable and distinguishing from other remote control applications.

If you like to have some additional features implemented, don't hesitate asking me to add your ideas.[/size]
