Comcast creates awesome iPad app |
Here’s Comcast CEO Brian Roberts demonstrating Xfinity Remote, a super nice iPad application that lets you control your cable box. It takes the set-top box interface and turns it into an easy-to-use iPad app that features an interface with a keyboard.
TiVo really should have done something like this. You can change channels, program recordings, search the schedule and select a pay-per-view program, all on the browser-based iPad app. Awesome.
No word yet on when it will be available to the likes of you and I.

Does it work with the iphone, lots easier to deal with then the huge ipad. Wish Rogers did this.
I am confused. If you invite a friend, they do have to have access to the channel in question, right? Brian keeps saying “you don’t even need to know,” but I think it wouldn’t work if they didn’t. Or do I misunderstand how it works?
