Remember the i.TV iPhone application that offers free TV listings, trailers, movie information and more? We told you the update is coming and it’s here.
As we briefly mentioned earlier, the updated version adds such things as:
- TiVo control – after linking your i.TV with TiVo account, users can browse i.TV to discover media and send remote recording instructions to a broadband connected TiVo DVR from wherever they are. Additional features include the capability to determine the frequency, quality and priority of a requested recording.
- Streaming TV episodes and other videos – i.TV now includes a selection of full-length TV shows, previews, movie trailers, fan videos and other related media like YouTube.
- Movie ticket purchasing – through MovieTickets.com.
- Upcoming movies – trailers and show cards for movies coming to theaters within the next several months.
- i.TV Wallet – the idea here is to securely store payment options for business transacted via i.TV, such as movie ticket purchases. This could also mean that more premium services will be added in the future. We’re guessing/hopping…
The i.TV remains free and you can grab it from here.

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
