Quickflix is certainly picking up steam; it wasn’t that long ago that its streaming movie service was PC only, and then branching out to Sony PS3. It’s just announced that Samsung TVs, tablets and smartphones will get its service from the middle of the year.
There’s no announced change to pricing — which sits at $14.99/month if you’re not already a Quickflix subscriber, $7/month if you are — but it’s the first step into both the tablet and Android world for the company. [Quickflix]

The quality of the streaming on the previews put me right off.

also worth noting in their announcement is some major strategic partners coming on board soon. wonder who that’ll be? pretty certain they’ll sign with microsoft australia to bring their service to xbox, as the xbox agreement with foxtel finishes up early this year.
either way their rapidly moving in the right direction. About time, Australia is only 5 years behind america!
