TiVo Hits New Mobile Devices, Including the Apple iPad « TiVo Blog

Why do I suspect this will soon appear on the list of apps removed by Apple?…  (via Louis Gray)

With TiVo® Desktop Plus software you can now transfer your TiVo recordings to the Apple iPad, allowing you to take your favorite shows with you wherever you go (Roxio Toast® Titanium software is required for Mac users). The new software also supports other portable devices such as the iPhone, the Apple iPod Touch, the DROID by Motorola, the Palm Pre and several Blackberry models.

Not sure why Tivo is making this news. Tivo Desktop has done this for a couple of years.

I'm guessing
1) A lot of people don't know about the capability (in part because, until recently, there weren't a lot of convenient devices for the usage scenario; tablets and latest-generation smartphones are game-changers in this context, imho)
2) They want to publicize it and build momentum for it before Apple tries to shunt it; Apple wants to directly control -- and profit from -- all content consumption scenarios on iOS devices.
