Streaming TV headed to Android devices, via Bitbop Speaking at the DEMO event this week, Fox Mobile-backed Bitbop has revealed their smartphone app, bringing streaming TV to your Android devices.
Users can play the full-length TV shows over 3G or Wi-Fi.

The app is now available on the Motorola Droid, HTC Droid Incredible, HTC EVO 4G, Droid 2, Droid X and Nexus One .

Bitbop has been in early beta for BlackBerry since the beginning of the summer.

The service costs $10 per month, but a free trial will let you watch three shows for free.



Bitbop offers a catalog similar to Hulu Plus, however the streaming TV is commercial-free and users can download the shows for playback at a later time, making it quite different than Hulu.
