PlayLater has finally opened viewing support to Android devices and that should make a lot of you out there very happy. PlayLater is software for your PC that allows you to record movies and TV shows to your hard drive from popular websites such as Hulu, Hulu Plus, Netflix, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, Comedy Central and more (provided you have subscriptions to those services). You can then take those recorded videos and transfer them over to your Android device to watch at anytime, without the need for an internet connection.

“After announcing PlayLater mobile for the iOS platform, we are excited to announce Android and broad platform support,” reports Jeff Lawrence, MediaMall Technologies CEO. “PlayLater seems to have truly broad appeal…and is a must-have for the gadget guy, frequent flier, or busy mom during the holiday season. Nothing beats on-the-go entertainment when you are on a long flight or trying to calm a crying pre-schooler. And, PlayLater is the only way to record all the online shows and movies you want and take them with you on your mobile devices.”

This is great news in a day of tiered data and expensive overages. Streaming video over your mobile network is one of the fastest ways to eat through your allotted data and doesn’t always provide the best viewing experience anyways. Software such as PlayLater offers smoother playback and peace of mind.

All your PlayLater videos are now supported for playback via Android’s native video player. PlayLater offers users the convenience to:

• Avoid the frustrating experience of missing an episode or movie before the online listing expires
• Watch videos when they are offline or have an insufficient Internet connection to stream video (e.g. on a plane)
• Watch videos when outside of the US where some online services do not allow access, and (4) consumers can avoid purchasing videos on their mobile devices and instead record those same videos and move them to the mobile device.

A free trial of PlayLater is available at www.playlater.tv. After that, the software will cost you a licensing fee of $24.99 a year or $49.99 for a lifetime. And don’t worry, all the videos you record with your free trial will remain available.

PlayLater is a beacon of light in this age of data distribution darkness.
