XBMC Unveils an Official Beta for Android Devices

This looks really cool.

XBMC Unveils an Official Beta for Android Devices:
XBMC Unveils an Official Beta for Android Devices If you've been waiting to get your hands on XBMC for Android but weren't thrilled at the idea of compiling it yourself or suffering through a nightly, the team behind XBMC have taken the wraps off of an official beta release that you can try.
Of course, the XBMC for Android beta is still a build of the version we love on our media centers, so it'll be all but impossible to use on small screens, no thanks to the tiny menu options and buttons. The new version does support touchscreens and multi-touch gestures, and even supports the XBox 360 controller as an input option. If you have an Android device in your home theater or are planning on adding one (Raspberry Pi? Hacked Google TV?) or would love XBMC's interface on your Android tablet, now you can have it. It works pretty well, although there's plenty of work to be done still.
It's worth noting that only Android devices that support the NEON extension are compatible with the beta. If you don't know what that means, check and see if your device is on this list. If it is, you're good to go.
