Peel AllPlay TV unites media sources for Android fans, puts them in harmony with Google TV

[![Peel AllPlay TV unites media sources for Android fans, puts them in harmony with Google TV][1] ][2]

It's been a awhile since we [caught up with Peel][3], but the company has certainly been putting its time to good use with a big update to its Android app at [Google I/O][4]. A new AllPlay TV component acts primarily as a companion for [Google TV][5], pooling together listings of the disparate sources of conventional and streaming TV without having to break out the [awkward remote][6] until absolutely necessary. Live TV, DVR recordings and [Netflix][7] all sit side by side; if the season premiere of a show is coming up and last season's finale remains tragically unwatched, Peel will be the cue to record the new airing and hit Netflix for the catch-up. Peel warns that AllPlay TV won't be part and parcel of the app until July -- as compensation, it's promising that the release will bring Android 2.3 users into the fold, and a parallel version is coming to iPhone and iPod touch owners in the next few months.
