Downloaded the apk but won't install, says it cannot parse the package. I think it's only compatible with android 4.0 upwards.

Galaxy Ace. Gingerbread. Why does it need ICS? I can connect to a panasonic smart tv with their app fine, does the same sort of thing.

Because it's been developed using the ICS app development code, some features it might need won't be available in pre-ICS.

Correct it needs 4.0+

Great lil app though, been a long wait but was worth it, lets see what features and games they add support for it over the coming months  :cool:

Tempted to buy a cheap unbranded Samsung Galaxy Note clone from Amazon at £100, just so I can use this app.

Plus I'm fed up with the small internal memory on the Galaxy Ace (won't install or update apps), its small screen, lack of compatibility with lots of Google Play apps etc etc etc.
