Would be nice to have a wake on LAN feature for the app. I quite like the idea of switching on and navigating the dashboard with my iPad.

Well this is nice. Kind of like something you'd see on the WP7 minus the mobile achievements and all that. My DROID hasn't wronged me so much, but I would still prefer either an iPhone or WP7 after having one for some time.

Some issues with Galaxy S1 Captivate variant, but non that are app-breaking.

I love that we have this app now for Android, I would really like it though if I could get notified about XBL messages on my phone when I'm not on my xbox. If that feature was added, it would make this app completely epic.

The messaging is limited though, as you can only message people in your friends list or respond to a message from someone who is not.

2) No option to turn sound off = work fail
Acctually there's an option under the new settings to turn off your sound.

Looks pretty cool. I already have the media remote but it's fun to start stuff up and navigate using my phone (iPhone 4, Verizon)
No option on the Android version; but for anyone who was looking for a solution, it goes off your "Media" sound bar, not the overall volume. Not ideal, but it works.

All the issues with the Android phones sounds like Microsoft didn't hire a competent Android developer to test the app. The first thing in Android development is understanding that there are a lot configurations so you should use the Manifest.xml file to limit the number of users that can download your app until you can fully test that it works for that setup.
