AT&T U-verse Mobile App Comes To Windows Phone 7
Windows Phone 7 just launched in America this month, and already the app
store is growing in impressive fashion. All of the regular apps are
already onboard, but now a few "killer apps" are beginning to take
shape. U-verse and Microsoft have retained a close relationship over the
years, with Xbox integration already being a reality. But now, Windows
Phone 7 users will have U-verse integration as well, with U-verse TV
subscribers able to download and watch TV shows on their phone for free
during a mobile holiday trial.
AT&T U-verse Mobile for WP7 should come pre-loaded on any future devices from AT&T, and any AT&T Windows Phone user can log-in to U-verse Mobile by Dec. 31 and download and watch free for 30-days. Once the trial is complete, customers taking advantage of this offer will automatically be subscribed to U-verse Mobile for $9.99 per month. And U-verse TV customers who subscribe to the U100, U200 and U200 Latino packages can take advantage of a limited time preview to download and watch with U-verse Mobile at no extra cost through Feb. 1, 2011.
Think of this as Hulu Plus, but from a different company. With U-verse Mobile, you can browse or search a library of downloadable shows, and select which specific episode you want to download. The selected content is downloaded to your mobile phone over any Wi-Fi connection, and you can then watch it on your device anywhere you want. That means that 3G downloading isn't supported; that was likely a decision made by AT&T, as they have shown to be quite stingy when it comes to letting streaming apps function over 3G. If you had any doubts that the company is struggling to keep up with 3G demand...
At any rate, U-verse Mobile also lets you schedule and manage your DVR recordings at no extra cost, and the ability to download and watch TV shows is available at no extra charge for customers that subscribe to the U300 package or higher. Not a bad perk for existing U-verse TV users, that's for sure.
