BB10 gets Netflix, Hulu, HBO GO, 60 + Channels though PlayON

BlackBerry BB10 smartphone users are getting an amazing range of content options on their devices through the PlayON app which offers Netflix Hulu, HBO GO and an additional 60+ channels through streaming.. 

This is huge since it is the first time, BlackBerry 10 customers in the US and Canada can watch content from Hulu, Netflix and HBO GO on their smartphone. By downloading the new PlayOn app to a BlackBerry Z10 or BlackBerry Q10 smartphones, and PlayOn software to a Windows PC, customers can stream online content from Netflix, Hulu (with no Hulu Plus subscription needed), HBO GO, CBS and 60 additional online channels to their smartphone. This is bittersweet for PlayBook users since the 7-inch screen on that now abandoned device would have been sweet for viewing all this great content, but it can't run BB10, so there.

layOn’s online software is installed on a Windows PC where it browses content from various online providers like Netflix and Hulu and online channels like ABC, NBC, CBS and Comedy Central, and then displays that content directly on the BlackBerry 10 smartphone through the PlayOn app. BlackBerry 10 smartphone customers can browse and watch movies, TV shows and more on their phone at home or on the go over a Wi-Fi®, 4G or 3G connection.

 "With our new PlayOn app for BlackBerry, we are excited to extend PlayOn's benefits to BlackBerry 10 smartphone customers, including first-time access to all the great content of Netflix, Hulu, CBS and HBO GO," said Jeff Lawrence, CEO of MediaMall Technologies. "We are very pleased to be partnering with BlackBerry to launch this app. It is really going to change how BlackBerry 10 customers watch content on their smartphone."

 “We’re delighted that PlayOn is now available for BlackBerry 10 smartphone customers, giving them access to the fantastic streaming video content they can get today on their Windows PC,” said Martyn Mallick, VP of Global Alliances and Business Development at BlackBerry.
