Mobile entertainment services provider Rubberduck Media Lab has made its streaming mobile TV application available for download on Google's new Nexus One phone and the increasing number of Android-based handsets such as the Motorola droid.
Rubberduck provides a hosted mobile TV platform, used by major operators in Europe and worldwide markets, and holds digital rights agreements for mobile content with a host of major broadcasters such as the BBC, the Disney Channel, CNN, CNBC and Turner. The new Android application is designed to enable customers to access an operator's mobile TV services simply by opening the application to access the web-based content menu.
Rubberduck's new Android app is compatible with version 1.6 and higher of the Android operating system. It offers a very user-friendly viewing experience which compares well with other platforms such as the iPhone. It supports Rubberduck's fast channel switching capability making it easy to switch between TV channels in real-time.
Erling Paulsen, CEO of Rubberduck, commended, "Our mobile TV application has been a great success on the iPhone and we are sure it will be popular on Google-based phones as well."
