Smartglass App

So ive been checking out the smart glass app for windows 8 to control your xbox using windows 8
and i have found it to be promising on what it could eventually be capable of...
for example the play here feature is supposed to only be capable of running apps built to run on both xbox and windows 8 to allow you to play them on your pc but with enough programming and tweaking its possible in the future we will see the ability to use your computer as a tv for your xbox so it can stream the video to your pc instead of having to use a tv to play your games... But that isnt what im here to talk about im here to talk about the current features of the xbox smartglass app, like the ability to use your pc as a remote to control your xbox excluding the following buttons: the analog sticks, RB, LB, LT, RT, Start, and Back buttons on your normal xbox controller... but it works great for controlling netflix and the dashboard. It also has a guide button when you click on switch when your under the remote mode on the smartglass app. Also whenever your sending someone a text message over xbox using the smartglass app it automatically pops up a box to type your message using your keyboard on your pc, although something i noticed needed to be fixed is when using the youtube app on xbox whenever you search for something you have to use the arrows to choose the letters it doesn't allow you to use the keyboard on your pc for it. heres some screen caps of the app
