1. A method comprising:

  • using a remote control to remotely control a first computing device, the remote control also being capable of issuing at least one command to a second computing device, the remote control being responsive to user input to control a first user interface that is capable of being displayed by the first computing device using a television display remotely from the second computing device, the user input also to be used in controlling the first computing device, the first user interface being a remote presentation of a second user interface to be displayed by the second computing device, the second computing device being a portable computing device capable of providing via wireless local area network communication a clip to be played using the first computing device in response to the at least one command, the remote control being capable of providing tactile feedback in response to at least certain of the user input;

    wherein;

    the first computing device and/or the second computing device comprises at least one handheld tablet computing device;

    the first user interface, as displayed by the first computing device using the television display, corresponds to the second user interface that is to be displayed by the second computing device;

    the first computing device and/or the second computing device is capable of being automatically wirelessly discovered and controlled, at least in part, via an automatic discovery protocol;

    the first computing device comprises cache memory to store multiple portions of data to be provided from the second computing device, the multiple of portions of data to be used to permit, at least in part, multiple different user feedback responses to be provided in response, at least in part, to different user inputs received via the remote control, the multiple different feedback responses being capable of comprising tactile feedback response, video feedback response, and/or audio feedback response;

    in response, at least in part, to at least one other command;

    the multiple different feedback responses are to be associated with the different user inputs by the first computing device; and

    the first computing device is to store in the cache memory the multiple portions of data;

    in response, at least in part, to at least one further command, the multiple portions of data are to be cleared, at least in part, from the cache memory.
