Ceton's Media Center Companion apps for mobiles hit RC status, add new features (video)

[![Ceton's Media Center Companion apps for mobiles hit release candidate status, add new features][1] ][2]

Fans of Windows Media Center will have a new remote control option soon, as [Ceton][3] has pushed out some release candidates of its [mobile device Companion apps][4]. [Beta testers][5] should be seeing some new features including an updated program guide with infinite scrolling, plus universal search through the guide, movies, recorded TV, TV series and channels, as well as series recording management and overall speed improvements. Currently only the [Windows Phone][6] and iOS clients are considered at RC level with the Android version not quite there and lacking the guide search feature. Those in the test group can hit the source links to make sure they've got the latest versions of the apps and services for their HTPC, while those of us on the outside looking in can get a quick preview from the demo video embedded after the break and pics in the gallery.
