Comcast Mobile Android app now aims for Dec. 7, Xfinity still delayed

For all you Comcast subscribers out there waiting on the Comcast Mobile and Xfinity apps for Android, listen up. (Erm, or just keep reading).We're still waiting on the Xfinity Mobile App (aka Comcast Mobile App 3.0), and the Comcast Mobile App Android 2.0 release (there's a mouthful) is now slated for Dec. 7 release -- yes, another delay.

In the meantime, we've basically got the user manuals, plus feature lists, buglists and troubleshooters. Everything you could want, except for the actual app, that is. You can check it all out after the break. E-mail retrieval, DVR settings, voicemail, TV listings, the works.

And in the meantime, we'll all just have to sit back and wait and hope that there won't be any more delays.

  • Doesn't look like it's going to be able to change the channel like the iOS version. Come on, Comcast.
  • That's the Xfinity TV App that does that which is scheduled to be out 1st quarter 2011. 2 different apps. That one will have the other features like changing the channel, sharing what you're watching and stuff.
  • Ah, my mistake. Thanks!
  • I am confused. This article mentions 2 different apps? Comcast mobile app 2.0 and Comcast Mobile app 3.0? Both for Android, and both delayed?
  • ok, I read the documents, and it's Comcast Mobile App/Xfinity Mobile App for Android 2.0 devices. And the Comcast Mobile App 3.0 is for Apple IOS devices.
  • "Comcast Mobile Android app set for release Dec. 3 after missing Nov. 30 target" so much for that eh? how about these companies stop telling us when stuff will be released and just release the product when its ready for beta/public.
  • I've been running the app for a few weeks now, latest release has made it very stable and faster. i wouldn't expect many more delays.
  • 公猴同性恋。 母猴同性恋。 　　荆楚网消息(通讯员蔚培龙、罗永斌) 11月29日，神农架自然保护区的科研人员惊奇地发现，区内金丝猴存在同性恋现象。 　　几天前，神农架大龙潭金丝猴科研基地工作人员像往常一样跟随着猴群,wholesale juicy couture purse，对金丝猴的社会行为进行观察。眼前奇怪的一幕让科研人员惊呆了，只见全雄单元的一只成年公猴“大杨”快步地走到另一只公猴“一撮毛”身后，紧紧地抱住它的腰部，“一撮毛”做出了类似母猴邀配的请求，“大杨”径直上前爬跨，姿势与两性交配没有两样。这种景象让科研人员产生了一连串的联想，其实这种行为在以前也发生过，只是当时行为发生的背景比较复杂，所以很难认定行为的类型。这次清晰的、一连串的动作表明，上述的行为是金丝猴雄性同性恋。 　　在接下来的几天内，科研人员又几次观察到金丝猴的同性恋现象，而且公猴同性恋的概率多于母猴。通过研究分析，科研人员认为这与金丝猴的社会结构有很大关系。因为金丝猴的社会分两种单元，一种是家庭单元，由一只成年公猴担任家长，拥有多个妻妾和众多儿女；另一种是全雄单元，就是全是公猴子的单元，这个单元里的成员身份复杂、背景多样，包括已经退位的家长，还没有当上家长的亚成年公猴，刚被家长赶出来的少年公猴。对全雄单元的公猴来说，除非当上家长，它们基本没有权利和母猴发生性行为。所以，公猴之间的同性恋行为可以缓解它们的生理和心理压力，维持金丝猴和谐的社群生活。 　　科研人员表示，虽然动物社会中的同性恋现象不足为奇，但是作为与人类同祖先的灵长类动物金丝猴，其同性恋现象更值得深入研究与探讨，对金丝猴同性恋现象的研究，有助于我们认识人类同性恋的起源。
  • Nicole here and the waiting game is no fun especially when what you're waiting for is available elsewhere. I downloaded the app for my Sling Adapter a while ago and I'm able to watch live TV on my phone as a DISH Network subscriber. What sold me on the adapter is that wherever I have high-speed internet access I'm able to pull up all my programming and DVR at the touch of a button. I work for DISH Network and have seen this technology out now for a while. Time to start enjoying entertainment the smart way.
