Nomad Updates: Mac & iOS

[jcrandall]

Updates for Nomad came out yesterday on the iOS platform, version 2 for iphone mostly just makes it faster from what I can tell. I tried it for about 5 minutes and didn't notice significant changes but did notice it was faster.

Most disappointing, however, the software still does not natively support the ipad.

Also, no software of yet for Android devices. For a product that launched 7 months ago, that is pretty disappointing.

What's New in Version 2.0.0

NEW IN THIS VERSION
This version includes performance enhancements to reduce time when syncing recorded content with your iPhone or iPod touch.
- Improved response time when opening the app, connecting to your HD DVR and accessing recorded programs to watch.
- Includes the ability to view the status of all programs that your DIRECTV nomad is preparing from your iPhone or iPod touch.
- You can also sync your favorite HD DVR recordings on up to 3 different devices at the same time.
- Additional bug fixes and stability enhancements to improve overall performance.

Also Nomad for Mac was released, and as would be expected the requirements are going to limit it to fairly new machines:
