Yamaha Receivers Get iOS and Android Streaming Capabilities

The latest edition of the AV Controller app adds some very cool new functionality.
Yamaha's newest version of the AV Controller app for Android and iOS brings with it some new functionality. It's the kind of functionality that seems obvious in hindsight, but didn't enter into minds at launch.
You'll still be able to use your device as a remote control for your receiver and other Yamaha products, but now you'll be able to stream music directly from your phone or tablet to the receiver. Not too shabby for a free application.
You can pick up Yamaha's AV Controller on iTunes or from the Android Marketplace

OnLive Comes to iOS and Android Devices
Thu Dec 08, 2011 at 09:30 AM ETTags: iOS, Android, OnLive (all tags)
Custom touch screen controls are available for some games, others can use a wireless controller.
OnLive's cloud gaming service doesn't have much appeal to those with a killer gaming PC and console owners may find it hard to justify. There's an audience there though, and it's about to get bigger.
OnLive is hitting both iOS and Android devices this week along with a wireless controller. The apps are free, but the controller comes in at $49. The nice thing though, is that some of the games won't even require a controller.
Though initially created as PC games, Onlive says that touchscreen controls will work just fine with titles like 'L.A. Noire' which Rockstar came in to create custom controls for.

HBO Go is Coming to Android and iOS Devices

HBO subscribers will have access to every episode of their favorite HBO shows.
A short commercial recently released on HBO's YouTube channel reveals a new step forward for the popular content provider. They'll be moving forward with iOS and Android apps that allow users to enjoy content on-the-go.
According to the video, you'll have access to "every episode of every season of your favorite HBO shows," which sounds promising, but may mean that not all shows will be available in full.
The video ends with the date "05.02.11," which is presumably a release date for the apps. Of course, we'll only have to wait a week or so to find out.
