thumbnail Hands On: Comcast's Xfinity TV Go app finally treats Android users like adults again

For years, Comcast and other content purveyors treated Android users like second-class citizens.

Exhibit A: the previous Xfinity TV app for Android only allowed Android users to schedule shows on their DVR, while the comparable TV Player app for iOS devices allowed those users to stream Comcast shows that the user subscribed to.

Things are now on an equal footing, both for phones and tablets. Comcast's teriffic new Xfinity TV Go app isn't just available for Android; Comcast has made available a version for iOS as well. I tested the Android version of the new app both on my new Galaxy Note III and the last-generation Nexus 7 tablet.
