Updated Google Video App Streams Android Market Movie Rentals
Aug 12, 2011
cnet News is reporting that certain smartphones with the new Google Videos app will be able to stream Android Market movie rentals:
"Google said that for right now the app is compatible with Android phones running the 2.2 Froyo and 2.3 Gingerbread versions of Android.
The app will also enable the properly equipped phones to watch personal video. If you have the right software, you also must have the latest version of the Android Market on your phone. The Google Videos app allows you to manage the movies you've rented and it will also display a list of the most-rented flicks.
The popularity of Google's Android should make it a force for providing entertainment content. Netflix has said that data shows significant numbers of people watch video on their handhelds."
That last point reinforces what we here at Cinefile have been trying to illuminate: The future of content consumption will largely rest on tablet/handheld devices. New media content creators--seize the opportunity!!!
