Margret Sloan writes in her blog that TivoToGo is up and running and allows Tivo users to use the service for free and its available for both Mac and Windows computers and works with several portable devices including the PSP. To get your Tivoed programs on your mobile do the following:
First, transfer recordings to your desktop or laptop.
Consider it in-flight entertainment. After you have downloaded and installed the TiVo Desktop software, you can begin sending shows to a networked computer in another room of the house or any wireless laptop. Then, transfer a selection of your TiVo favorites and you are off.
Then, save recordings to your mobile device
Once the programs are transferred to a computer, the TiVoToGo software can encode them for a compatible handheld device. You can even schedule recordings and instruct the TiVoToGo software to automatically transfer new shows when they become available.

Groovr Launches Mobile Social Network
Groovr is another new mobile social network that has just launched.There service is based around text messaging: you get in to a place by texting. You can track where all the users are, allowing you to find out where all your friends are by texting a question mark to the same address of the user. You can also leave comments on places and text home to signal that you are back at your house. Even more, you can send photos to the service. Users have profile pages which aggregate all their check ins, photos and friends, and there is a forum to discuss everything that does not fit elsewhere. A couple of things it does not have yet is a widget to post your location and photos on your blog but even still a big thanks to Selena for the invite.
