Comcast iPad Customers to Get TV Service - Android on the Way

For Comcast customers, the concept of TV Everywhere took another step towards reality as Comcast announced the release of its Xfinity TV app for the iPad. The current app will allow you to use your iPad to search TV listings, change channels, and remotely schedule your DVR. By December, iPadders (or is it iPaddies?) will be able to watch pre-recorded video content on the iPad. Moves such as this one reinforce the opinion of many TV service providers that the iPad is the next "screen" for the consumer, as well as a growing revenue opportunity.

Lest mobile phone users feel left out by Comcast, the company plans to offer similar apps for the iPhone/iTouch, Android, and Blackberry platforms.
