App Review: uTorrent Remote
September 1, 2011 By Leave a Comment
There’s few apps that Android users receive that iPhone users don’t have, generally it’s because it’s either:
- A keyboard (like Swype or something, you know?)
- Something illegal (And those are the best, right?)
- Something awesome and the developer loves Android far too much to share ( Those guys are my favorite)
- Something that Apple just Really doesn’t like.
- It’s really stupid and doesn’t deserve to be on the Market either (Ex: Roll A Joint – really?)

The ever popular uTorrent PC and Mac application is now accessible from your phone; the mobile app accesses the running uTorrent application installed on your computer which is eating up all of your bandwidth and downloading your favorite TV show. All it requires is your Android device, the uTorrent Remote App, and about 30 seconds on your home computer (running uTorrent 3 on Windows and 1.5 Beta on Macs). [Read more...]

This brings new meaning to your phone being the only gadget you need. YouTube has come out with the new YouTube Remote that works with your Google TV. This new feature works with YouTube Leanback that you download onto the TV and then the app on your phone to sync the two. You can then use this to watch videos from the site onto the TV. Your phone lets you play, pause, go backwards and forwards, control the volume, and cue up the next video to watch. The app is still in beta but is available in the US Android Market for you to text out and give feedback on.
