Would any of you who own an Apple TV prefer to use the supplied super thin remote control device or would an Apple mousepad serve you better, if you could use it with the Apple TV?
Honestly? Neither. Not a fan of the thin remote at all, but would probably dislike a mouse even more.
The just updated yesterday Remote App is quite good...
Yes, it is, however, I wish it felt a tad more sturdy.
Forgive me for asking this stupid question, but how does the Remote app work? Basically, what is it's purpose? I'm interested.
To add to Karen's thoughts... it makes entering info requiring text a breeze with the iPhone or iPad keyboard instead of via the Apple Remote one letter at a time with lots of scrolling...
I have a spare Apple bluetooth keyboard... that is the preferred method for me. My wife uses the Logitech Harmony remote on the AppleTV connected to the family room entertainment center... so I guess our answer would be "none of the above".
ATV needs the remote google TV has.
Absolutely not. No. Never. Don't ever say that again.
I have a google TV and the remote is atrocious. Plain horrible.
Besides, the AppleTV has been a success for Apple, Google TV was an embarrassment for Google.
Remote control for me but I feel that Apple could do a lot to improve the remote.
Why do you say Google TV has been an embarrassment for Google?

The partners that released GoogleTV's sold a deplorably low amount of them, Logitech in particular was particularly disappointed in the low sales numbers. Apple, on the other hand, sells a very steady amount of AppleTV's every quarter.
