The following has now been missed with both the Q10 review and now the Zidoo...
If any box, is marketed as a regular Android device, the ease of use when interacting with the included remote control and regular Android Apps needs to be mentioned in any review. OR state you are only reviewing Kodi or external video player GUI interactions.
You know my stance on Android IR Air Mice implementations.
Regular Android boxes sold for a Premium price at the top end of the Android market, that use a crap IR only Air Mouse implementations should have that fact highlighted in any review. MINIX have shown what can be done with their RF NEO A2 Lite remote control.
Users should not have to buy extra RF Remote controls just to use basic Android Apps properly on any "Premium" Android device period. There should be no hidden nasty GUI - remote surprises waiting for end users.
Why ?
Well you have Android TV OS products on the market that dispense with all this Air Mouse rubbish and have Apps designed for very easy use on a TV. Ones that work properly out of the box WITH the included remote controls.
