We’re still expecting Time Warner to bring its live TV streaming to Android, however the platform is enjoying some exclusive support today with two new apps. The primary is the My TWC account management app which lets subscribers view their services, pay bills, adjust call forwarding and, soon, tap into their voicemail remotely. Any other one is a brand new version of its TWC TV app, reformatted to work on phones even while the TWCable TV app on iOS remains a tablet only affair. iPhone and Android owners alike do not need to attend long for his or her relief however, because the iPhone edition is slated to reach in January, and ICS-enabled live TV streaming remains at the roadmap for “early next year.” Hit up the company blog for the whole feature lists and breakdowns, or simply head over to the Android Market to put in either free app.
LONG ISLAND–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Time Warner Cable today announced the launch of the TWC TV™ app for Android smartphones.
