Hi guys,

This may seem like a petty question to some, but my son loves watching Disney Channel and Disney XD on my iPhone -- especially in the car. The iOS apps make it very easy. I just enter my cable company login info and hand him the iPhone.

I can't seem to find these Disney Channel and/or Disney XD apps for Android, unfortunately. Does anyone know of another way to watch these TV channels? Otherwise my son won't be too happy with me if I switch to an android device. :)

Thanks.

Pick up a used iPod touch (or keep your current iOS device) and tether that to your shiny new Android phone? :p

He's already got an iPod Touch -- but from what I understand, AT&T doesn't let people tether without paying... and I'm not gonna pay for my son to watch Disney when I'm used to getting it for free! :)

I have the same problem. Switched my son to a Nexus tablet but he misses those Disney Channel apps. Not to mention most apps on the commercials are for apple products only. I'm going to get him an ipod/iphone to use also.

What will you do in the car??

I'm kinda bummed that my son won't be able to watch these channels on the larger phone. It would have been nice for him. I wonder if there's another way??
