HBO GO allows HBO subscribers with select cable providers to stream HBO content such as Game of Thrones, True Blood, The Sopranos and a wide range of movies to their mobile devices. The application was previously available for Android 4.0-powered handsets, although tablets were suspiciously left unsupported until HBO last month updated the app with support for Amazon?s Kindle Fire.
