Comcast subscribers who have already received their Nexus 7 tablets or are sporting Android 4.1-powered phones should cast an eye towards Google Play for an updated version of the Xfinity TV Player app. Version 1.0.2.001 adds beta support for Jelly Bean in general and the Nexus 7 tablet specifically. It also fixes a nasty bug that would leave users stranded after upgrading their operating system, and promises a UI designed for 7-inch tablets in the next update. We saw Netflix get a compatibility update for Jelly Bean the day it launched, and Sky Go only just made the jump to supporting Ice Cream Sandwich, whether or not you have access to this app, have early adopters spotted any other laggards that might stop working when a long-awaited upgrade hits devices?

VOD content to stream anywhere is a great option for subscribers. I am amazed that Comcast was on the spot with this Jelly Bean update. Usually I see most providers to be an o/s or two behind, but of course, their apps probably don’t crash like Comcast’s did when Jelly Bean was introduced. I only wish they would have integrated their Android apps before this release. Streaming is a great option to offer subscribers, but man VOD content is chosen by someone else. Since I’ve worked at Dish I have enjoyed streaming anywhere I decide the time is right using my sling adapter that works with the Dish Remote Access app. It gives me the ability to stream all my live subscribed channels and recorded shows to my mobile device no matter where I am.
