You know, I should have specified that there isn’t a Harmony Link app optimized for Android tablets. The smartphone app will work on something like the HTC Flyer or the Samsung Galaxy Tab, but it won’t have program listings—or at least, not yet.

As far as the Link working with multiple devices … I don’t have a specific answer for that one, but I don’t see why not. I’ll check.

Great timing for us: the rechargeable battery on our Harmony One is starting to last no longer than 10 minutes. If the software is optimized for Android tablet screen sizes this is going to be awesome!

I’m assuming that it will work from multiple devices, too? That it’s not licensed to one device?

Thanks for pointing this out.
