Hi, I have just bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 with android 4.1.1, Jelly Bean. The main reason I bought it was was for the universal remote function through the Peel Smart Remote App. There doesn’t seem to be an IR blaster, whereas, from what I’ve read there was on the previous model. Could you please confirm that I therefore can’t use use Peel Smart Remote App on this, even though it is an updated version? I am a bit new to all this and am just really annoyed that the reason why I bought this device seems to have been withdrawn.
Eternal thanks, Craig

  @Craig this is strange, you should have an IR blaster on the same side as the volume rocker. I have this tablet and see how it was used with Peel in this video review http://www.androidtapp.com/peel-smart-remote/
