Looking for beta testers for Google TV app

It is installed on both but it still didnt work do I need to launch it on both devices?
Swype doesnt work because able remote takes the word as soon as it would normally show up on the screen waiting for conformation to go onto the next word. Swype is available free on GetJar if you wanna see hands on.

Thats weird. You just need to install the app on Google TV to make it work. Could you try to uninstall and install again on your Google TV.

Now I understand. Thats going to be tricky to handle; I'll have to think about that.

ok i re installed the app on the revue, the apps are working on the third screen. and now Swype auto spaces too. but still grabs the first word instead of letting you choose. if it waited before it pushed to the TV till you you've typed the next word our selected it then that would be awesome. You have a really great app, and i appreciate your hard work on developing it.

Good to hear that the quick launch apps are working.

For the keyboard I need to make sure that it is a good experience for all kinds of keyboards.

We are currently testing a major new feature that will allow users to change any of the device or app buttons in Able Remote.

If you want to change the layout of the buttons on each screen or if you want direct access to your favorite app, then the new edit feature will be for you. We hope to release this soon as a paid feature using in-app billing. All of the existing features of Able Remote will remain free.

How can I get the able remote for my Samsund Droid Charge? The links say it is not available anymore on the Market.

The Android Market is currently experiencing issues with in-app purchases: https://support.google.com/androidmarket/developer/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=known_issues.cs
Version 2.0 of Able Remote was released this morning and it relies on an in-app purchase to enable the new edit feature. I decided to pull the app out of the Market temporarily until Google has fixed the issue.

Google appears to be rolling out a fix for their in-app billing issues. Google has released a new version of their Market app today (version 3.4.4). If you don't have that version, the launch the Market app, go to My Apps and then get out of the Market app. That seems to trigger an update within a few minutes.

We've been asked by several users to add automation support in Able Remote. The automation would automatically do several tasks under certain conditions.

We are considering adding a simple mechanism that a user can configure which would includes all of these options:
1. Automatically enabling WiFi when you get home,
2. Switching on Google TV,
3. Launching an app, or
4. Changing to a specific channel.

We would like to get feedback from users about this mechanism and any other ideas they might have that could be added to the automation feature.
