It's about damned time, already. Might be too late for them to save themselves from the droves of angry people that either left or are thinking of leaving because of their price hikes and faltering deals (like Starz). This one was stupid, knuckle-dragging DRM garbage, though.
I can confirm that it launches and plays fullscreen streaming video on both my Motorola Droid (which it already did, on Gingerbread, Android 2.3.4) and now also on my Samsung Galaxy Tab (running Froyo, Android 2.2).
I do notice a LOT of stuttering if you try to use bluetooth audio--perhaps they need to increase the video streaming buffer size so that the wifi streaming processing isn't interfering with the bluetooth streaming processing? Dunno--but on the whole, works great and looks great on my 480x854 Droid, looks only just "decent" on my 1024x600 Samsung Galaxy Tab (the higher resolution and larger screen naturally seems to bring out the blocky imperfections)--certainly more than good enough to watch something on-the-go.
