I was thinking more along the lines of a device-wide cast feature (not just the Ultra) so that the now playing appears on the larger screen. The ultra screen is really too small to be of much use - it looks nice, but not much use beyond a couple of metres in reality.
)
That's what I'd like to see (all devices) but achievable via a cast button (compare how youtube does this via a simple cast icon and a list of cast-able devices, all within the youtube screen). The idea is to free the devices from more cables and would be useful where the Wiim's are located away from the TV.I did not understand what you meant by "device-wide cast". Does it mean that all WiiM devices will have video cast capability so that the same screen as the Ultra can be used on the TV?
The Ultra screen and the operations that can be done with the remote are very limited and I don't see how this would improve convenience.
I mirrored the WHA screen to the FireTV as a test, and if I were to use it, I think that would be sufficient. (However, I am not even sure what is missing because I am not interested.

You are absolutely right,For someone not interested you're putting in a lot of work to pour cold water on the idea
but if it is really useful, I would be inclined to use it too. For example, if touch operation were possible on my TV screen, that would be a different story.
Touch TV's? Don't they exist already?You are absolutely right,
if not, why not?In short, what I want is a large Android tablet for wall mounting, not a cast feature. Non battery powered.Touch TV's? Don't they exist already?
Isn't that Google TV?
Please tell me.Isn't that Google TV?
Control with the Google TV remote only works if the app has been 'modified' - the standard Android app will work but control is difficult with the remote. Wiim would need to produce a dedicated Google TV version of the WHA.
Thanks, I vote for Google TV's WHA.
I had a bt remote (forget the name) - it didn't work wellThanks, I vote for Google TV's WHA.
I am looking for a Bluetooth remote that can comfortably control my tablet from 50cm away, but can't seem to find a good product yet.
I would be happy to wall mount a Google TV about 24" and use WHA.
The 'box' isn't the problem - it's the software which needs to be tweaked to run on the android TV system. Also hdmi involves another cable. A software solution makes more sense.
Of course, a stick device is fine, but ultimately you need the WiiM app for Android TV.
