just want to share this story from http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/feedarticle/7800008

...
For example, consumers will be able to listen to their voice mails on their screens, and download shows from their digital video recorders onto their iPhones.
They also will be able to use their iPhones to navigate channels like a normal remote control, and for entertainment purposes like virtually hurling tomatoes at the TV screen using iPhone applications....

Very interesting, I'll have to keep an eye on this. I had UVerse when it first showed up in Dallas - but cancelled after the trial period because the DVR (Motorola box running Microsoft's IPTV client) was per crap. Just utter rubbish. Made watching TV a stressful experience.

I've always said that the killer app for UVerse would be AppleTV supporting IPTV for live viewing and DVR functions.

iPhone support is enough for me to go back to UVerse, but AT&T extending their support of Apple devices is a nice start.

They'd have to distribute the app via the App Store, but then Apple will have to claim it duplicates existing apple functionality (somehow) and deny it. :)
