HBO Go and Max Go get Android 4.0 phone support, skip tablets for now

[![HBO Go and Max Go][1] ][2]

Those with Android 4.0 phones like the [HTC One X][3] have been left out of watching [HBO Go][4] and [Max Go][5] on the road so far. New updates to the respective mobile apps take care of that: either premium channel will now stream directly to a phone running Google's latest OS (assuming you're [subscribed to pay-TV][6], that is). Speed-ups and bug fixes are in the upgrades, too. Oddly, Android 4.0 tablets have yet to make the leap, ruling out your [Transformer Pad TF300][7] for catching up on episodes of _True Blood_.
