Time Warner Cable for Android
According to Time Warner Cable, the Android version of its app will gain streaming capabilities in just a few weeks, "definitely by Memorial Day." Unfortunately, only devices that have Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich or higher will be able to use the feature, as TWC says that older versions of Android are just not secure enough for it to offer streaming television services.
Additionally, TWC noted that developing its app for iOS devices was "much easier" than creating it for Android, noting that with iOS there is only one OS to write for and relatively few differences in hardware. By contrast, TWC says that making its Android app was akin to "tweezing one's eyebrows while using a disco ball for a mirror" and that "we're going to get there, but it's going to happen one facet at a time."
That isn't too consoling to the 97.1 percent of Android users that don't yet have Ice Cream Sandwich on their devices, but as far as TWC is concerned, that is out of its control. Those that are fortunate enough to have Android 4.0 on their smartphone or tablet should be able to start streaming television from TWC in the near term.
