Hbo Will Be Streaming Mobile

Your Smartphone isnt just a cell phone any more. Starting next month you can start using HBO for streaming videos to your iOS and Android devices. Following Netflix and Time Warner Cable, HBO will start the new HBO Go for mobile devices next month. Available with subscription will be all your favorite HBO shows, including all the past seasons, as well as feature films. The new service will no doubt be especially popular with tablet users.

HBO Go has been available since 2009. It wasnt really catching on all that well. Now with the new mobile app available for Android and iOS platforms, HBO is hoping it will gain some ground on Netflix. HBO snubbed Netflix by not allowing any of its content to be available on Netflix. Netflix already has free Android and IOS apps available. HBO is now taking on the mighty Netflix giant with 1400 choices, and more promised. According to an article posted by Don Reisinger, The Digital Home, In January, HBO senior vice president of corporate affairs, Jeff Cusson, told The Hollywood Reporter that his company believes in content exclusivity, especially for high-value content. He said that HBO has no intention of making its content available for streaming on Netflix.

An HBO video was posted last week on YouTube. According to the video, HBO Go is scheduled to be released May 2nd to Android and iOS devices. Get every episode of every season of your favorite HBO shows, plus hit movies and much more, the videos voiceover states. All free to HBO subscribers and all streaming on your iPad, laptop, or Smartphone wherever you are. They arent specific about whether it will work on 3G, but since they are touting Wherever you are, I am assuming it will also work on 3G.

DirectTV wont be streaming HBO Go through mobile apps. According to Richard Lawler, Engadget, a mis-tweet by the DirectTV Twitter account originally stated it would be including the HBO Go mobile apps. Corrected, it now stands that DirectTV wont be adding HBO Go access through their own apps and DirecTV customers will have to use the native HBO Go app just like everyone else.

Are you anxious to watch HBO shows on your Smartphone? I think even with my Droid Xs 4.3 inch screen, I would rather watch shops on a tablet. Of course until I get a tablet (hint for Mothers Day), I will probably try it out on the Droid X. What about you?
