After what seemed like forever, the TiVo app for Android is finally here. In addition to the software update to the TiVo Premiere DVR that was released today, the TiVo Android app made its debut in the Android Market as well. Now you can control your TiVo DVRs from any Android 2.1+ phone or 7″ tablet (no word on whether it works on 10″ tablets but the app description mentions 7″).

Features of the Android app include – the ability to browse the channel guide and record shows without having to exit the currently running program, check out shows up to 14 days in advance, schedule TV shows and movie recordings, search for content over your TV, Netflix, Amazon Instant Video and Blockbuster in an integrated view, explore information on the cast and crew of the current show, comment and share about the show on Facebook or Twitter, control your TiVo as though you were holding a remote, and schedule, search and browse content remotely.

Download it from the Android Market for free.

Android Android is mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license.
