i use an 8" kindle fire for my kitchen system--you can pick one up for 70 bucks or so. good interface; wifi or bluetooth streaming works fine
Lightweight tablet suggestions
I'm new to streaming and thoroughly enjoy it. However, my old 10 inch tablet is rather heavy and cumbersome when making selections. I would be curious to know what others are using. My inclination is toward a 7-8 inch tablet with plastic housing if anyone is aware of one. I would use it only as a dedicated remote control for streaming.
