[QUOTE="Ember1205, post: 1725875, member: 374272"] Supposed to do what, Sly? Allow you to mirror your device screens and such? The Sony devices of today are running Android and don't interoperate very well with iOS devices for direct communications. In fact, even Samsung TVs don't interact well with Samsung devices. But, for apps directly installed on them (like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Youtube, etc.), they work quite well. The devices I have are Sony BDPBX350 which are VERY similar to the BDPS3500 (in fact, they might actually be identical except for the model number for some reason). These are both last year's model. The current model is the BDPS3700 (although this model is apparently having an issue with the "Child Lock" feature enabling itself and being unable to turn it off - I would expect that Sony will fix this). I'm not a fan of Samsung's "Smart Hub" technology as it's too proprietary (an Apple user complaining about something being too proprietary? really? lol). I wouldn't mind it being that way if it worked RELIABLY. Plus, Samsung is constantly updating that software. I have a TV that seems to be getting Smart Hub updates about every three days. [/QUOTE]
