Fox Mobile announced on Thursday that it is launching a streaming video service that will rival Hulu. The service will feature full-length, on demand television programming from CBS, Fox NBC, A&E, Comedy Central, Discovery, FX, MTV, and USA. Though not available at launch, full-length movies will be added by the end of the year. Targeting the mobile phone market, the service will be compatible with BlackBerry handsets including all the variants of the BlackBerry Bold series, as well as the Curve 8900 and Tour 9630. Though the BitBop app itself is free, the streaming service requires a $9.99 monthly fee that provides unlimited streaming and limited downloads. Interested BlackBerry owners can download the BitBop application from the BlackBerry App World and get their streaming on now. If you give it a try, let us know your first impression in the comments.

    crisp clear video on the Tour 9630. you tube vids pale in comparison.
    but the device gets overheated rather fast and furious.

    Been on BitBop for like a month already.

    Started out as a really bad experience, sent a few emails, talked to some folks at BitBop.

    After that, BitBop is amazing. I can’t tell you how cool it is to download a bunch of shows watch them on a long drive or trip for work.

    Great producti, great pic. Just please don;t start charging for it.

    I have had the beta on my 9700 for a month now. I love it. I have watched several shows and even put some Dora on there for my daughter. I download over Wifi to watch later.

      I have the beta as well. I think it’s a cool app, but would prefer them to implement some sort of ad service to cover the cost because I just can’t see myself paying $10/month for this.
