The Xfinity remote app Comcast CEO Brian Roberts showed off earlier
this year is now available in the app store for the iPad and iPhone.
Currently they allow Comcast customers with compatible digital TV
service to browse listings and On Demand content from their portable
device and change channels right from the app. Video streaming,
additional remote features and enhanced search are all promised for
future releases, while other platforms should also get their own
versions soon. Android apps are promised for later this year, with
Blackberry to follow. For now, check out the press release and
original demo video embedded after the break or grab the app from
iTunes and break out your Comcast e-mail address to try it out prior
to a live demo at 8:30 (EST) this evening at the Web 2.0 conference.
It may not be the improved interface for our cable boxes we've been
expecting for such a long time, but it's at least a step in that
direction.
