If you happen to own a Pocket PC running Windows Mobile and decided to go for an Android smartphone instead, you will now be able to take advantage of a nice application that wasn't available for the latter. You might think this is just another example of a Windows Mobile application that has been ported on the Android, but the fact remains that you will now be able to install Spb TV on any Android smartphone.

Developed by Spb Software, the application is one of the few good IP-TV solutions optimized to run on mobile products. Users will be able to watch a wide range of TV channels directly on their Android devices, but will be limited to only a few numbers if only using the trial version of the software.
