If you thought that Netflix,HBO Go & Android Movie rentals weren't enough,look what Sony has in stores for you.The Sony Video Unlimited App will be a new feature in the upcoming Tablet S launch in Japan & surprisingly it will also make its debut to other non-Sony Android SmartPhones as well(Android)-something Sony has never done before.The App will made available for Sony's SmartPhones & Tablets for now & the non-Sony App will be on its way.
As of now Video Unlimited features more than 6500 Movies & way over 40,00 TV episodes from some of the major studio's & networks along with the Indies found in various Sony merchandises ranging from PlayStation 3 to SmartPhones to Sony TV.Formerly nicknamed as Qriocity which was expected to feature both Video Unlimited & Sony's Music Unlimited into one,will soon be making its appearance in the non-Sony Android gadgets,although not all of them will be supported as it might depend upon software & hardware requirements,Not to mention the video licensing issues.According to Mike Aragon,Sony's vice president and general manager of video and music services:
Sony has probably more Arsenals than what Google can bring to the table,the most powerful being the Media Exposure.Sony has been a brand name in the media industry,something Google has not much of an experience.Sony's prowess in the TV & production line along with the video game exposure just might what needs to boost its sale after an appalling Q3 results for the PlayStation Giant.
"Video is complicated by some of the technical aspects of our deals with the studios," Aragon said in an interview. "Basically, not every Android device out there has the same hardware and can play video at the same level of quality, and we have to make sure that the quality of our service is something that lives up to our standards and is something our studio partners are happy with too."It was also implied that the Apple iOS devices will not be featuring the Sony Video Unlimited App whether iPhone or iPad or iPad Touch any time soon.Right now they seem to be focussed completely on the Android platform & will be rolled out in early 2012 for non-Sony SmartPhones & Tablets featuring Android.
