Verizon launches mobile Viewdini video service.


Verizon Wireless CEO Dan Mead announced a new service platform that will make finding and viewing video on mobile devices easier.


Mead described the new video service called Viewdini as a portal that will aggregate and deliver mobile content to a variety of devices. Comcast's Xfinity service is the first to partner with Verizon. Mead and Comcast's CEO Neil Smit were on a panel at the National Cable and Telecommunications Association's Cable Show



Other partners at the launch of Viewdini include: Hulu Plus, mSpot, and Netflix.

The way it works is that the Viewdini platform acts like a mobile video aggregator that makes it easy for users to search for titles. The platform enables people to find and access TV and movies on a wide variety of services like the over-the-top video services, such as Netflix, Hulu Plus, as well as TV sites, and from cable and telecommunications TV operators. When consumers search for titles, they'll be able to see whether it's available for streaming at no additional charge, by subscription, to rent, or for purchase.

The Viewdini service platform will be shown off here at the Cable Show on the show floor. 

And the company has said it will be available on 4G LTE Android devices later this month. Verizon says that other device platforms will be available soon. The app can be downloaded from Google Play. And it's free to subscribers.
