Tivo lovers rejoice! Now you can set your Tivo at home to record a show (or get a Season Pass) all from the comfort of your phone!

Nov 24th
While playing with Amazon’s Unbox service this weekend I noticed something strange. When viewing the Unbox video library through a browser, selecting a video and going to the Download options that my G1 android is listed. I do have it signed up on Amazon MP3 and that works great so that explains how they have the G1’s information. Amazon has my G1 listed as a Video download destination along with a laptop and Tivo of mine. Selecting it gives an error right now which makes sense because there is no Unbox client available in the Market yet. However could this be the next coolest thing with OTA entertainment? I fired off an email to Amazon inquiring further but haven’t received any response back yet.
Amazon Unbox is a service which allows for watching online video of movies and tv shows on demand. The quality is great and the service nearly flawless. If they bring this to the Android platform how many of you will take advantage of this?

Nov 20th
Custom backgrounds, cases, bling chains, and glue on sparkles might not be enough for some of us. Sometimes we have the need to take it to the next level. Well T-Mobile feels your pain, T-Mobile wants you to tag up your phone beyond all recognition and claim it as your own. You can create custom skins online and have them in your mailbox within a few days. You can whip one up in less than a few minutes for everything from your G1 and Shadow to a Laptop or your Tivo (of all things). You can overlap images with icons (like the skull teeth on the urban camo) or upload your own images (like the suave looking character on the right). Most are around $14.95 and are available from TMobileskins.com.

Nov 20th
Tremendo Slap started a thread in the forums that talks about the Zagg InvisibleShield for the G1 that costs $24.95. For those that don’t know, InvisibleShield is a very thin film that you apply to the front and back of your device to help protect it.
But what if you apply it wrong? Here’s the good news, brought to us by SHADOWNU-B:
I had a chat with one of the zagg reps, and they have a 1 time courtesy replacement for any installation that goes wrong. all you do is pay for shipping $3.95. you send your old one back and your warranty (lifetime stays active) this is a one time deal only so use it wisely 
. all you have to do is go on the live chat with them and tell them you didn’t do the installation right and they will guide you though doing it right. if all else fails they offer the free replacement.
This is good news for anyone considering the InvisibleShield. Thanks for the news tip, ShadowMike.
