I doubt I will use this feature much but I can see where I might if I didn't have my laptop with me. I prefer the laptop when viewing away from home on a large TV, since I can use AirMouse [<a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=VoxLcfp5Si4&amp;subid=&amp;offerid=177776.1&amp;type=10&amp;tmpid=3909&amp;RD_PARM1=http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/air-mouse-pro-remote-trackpad/id289616509?mt=8" target="_blank">affiliate link</a>] to control all the action from the comfort of my bed. But options are always nice to have aren't they?&nbsp;</p>

Makes me sad I JUST cancelled my Netflix account. Waiting for a cheap streaming only version. This also makes me sad I dont own an iPad yet! ((YET!))
