The multimedia situation on Android has been rapidly improving over the last few months, with the introductions of Netflix’s official application and Google’s own Movie service. Today, it is set to get better still: Crackle, a free movie- and TV-watching app formerly exclusive to iOS, has made its way to the Android Market.
You’ll need an Android 2.2+ device with Flash installed, but if your handset meets the requirements, you’ll be able to stream as many feature-length films and TV shows as you like, provided, of course, that they’re in Crackle’s catalog. The app itself is slick and simplistic, and better yet, it offers HQ streaming over both 3G and WiFi (and presumably 4G as well).
Again, both the app and the service will cost you no more than $0, and with a file size of just 1.3MB, I don’t see any reason not to try it out.
