A grossly over-hyped product for aviation.
I've never ever seen it hyped as being useful for aviation beyond a few queries in the forums.
It's for consuming media, around your house. It seems a little unfair to criticise it for something it's not designed to do.
If someone writes aviation software for it, that's their perogative. I could write aviation software for a ZX Spectrum - doesn't mean it'll be any use in a cockpit, or that it's been pitched as such.
