But just in time for the busy summer travel season -- the Travel Industry Association (TIA) predicts a record-breaking 328 million trips will be taken from June to August -- millions of people will now be able to hit the road, rails or friendly skies with their favorite TV shows in tow. TiVo Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Intel Corp. today announced a nationwide upgrade to the TiVoToGo(TM) service, enabling people for the first time to move TiVo content stored on a Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP-based PC onto Windows Mobile(TM)-based Portable Media Centers powered by Intel(R) Mobile Media Technology as well as newer Windows Mobile-based Smartphones and Pocket PCs."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20050609-TivoToGo.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />To celebrate, Tivo is giving away a "travel entertainment package" that contains a Windows Mobile-based Creative Zen Portable Media Center and a 40-hour TiVo Series2 DVR. There is one draw a day from June 21 until September 6. For more information on how to enter this contest, check out the Tivo <a href="http://www.tivo.com/TVtogo">website.</a> If you already have a Smartphone and a Tivo, you can learn more about how to setup TivoToGo <a href="http://www.tivo.com/4.9.19.asp">here.</a> :)

This sounds pretty cool. With TiVoToGo and the recent price drop on the HD version of the DirecTV TiVo box, maybe it's time for me to geat aboard the TiVo bandwagon.
