It was rumored that VCast video would come to Android and today Verizon launched their V Cast video app for Android. At $10 per month there is no way I am getting V Cast video but I am sure there are some that will scoop up this service. All Verizon Android devices are capable of streaming 230 programs across 40 different providers. Most important World Cup 2010 will be streamed to V Cast devices. Just in time for Friday’s games. Something tells me my wife will be getting V Cast until the World Cup is over.
