Tivo Mobile - Tivo-To-Go on Portable Media PlayersReuters is reporting that TivoToGo is now available on Microsoft portable devices. TiVo said TiVoToGo is now available on Microsoft Corp.'s (MSFT.O: Quote, Profile, Research) Windows Mobile-based Portable Media Centers -- paperback-sized devices that can play digital music and videos -- as well as certain Windows Mobile-based Smartphones and PocketPCs handheld Doubtless "Certain Windows Mobile-based Smartphones and PocketPCs" means those running the very newest version of Windows Mobile.
