No one else does, not even if you try to go to Amazon, Vudu or Google through the phone's browser. As for Xbox Video, the support is pretty poor. Forget downloading your purchases from the cloud, as Apple, Amazon and Google all allow for their mobile devices. You need to download to your computer, then get a cable, then connect your phone to the computer and transfer using the Zune software.
That worked for my Lumia Windows 7. I tried using the Windows Phone app for Windows 8 as an alternative, but it kept giving an error that my video couldn't be shared. Maybe that's why the Xbox Video download instructions don't mention the app, because it doesn't work. Too bad -- I was left with no way to get my purchased video onto my phone. Surface Given that Microsoft is pushing its Surface tablet hard, I wanted to include it in the roundup.
I looked at Surface with Windows RT, the less expensive model and still the only Surface model shipping at the moment. The more expensive Surface Pro, which launches next week, is really just a full-fledged Windows 8 computer in a nice package.
Whatever a PC can do, it can do. You can't install the Amazon Unbox player, so you can't download Amazon video for offline viewing. There are no apps from others beyond Microsoft that allow for playing or downloading video. Roku The Roku box is one of my favorite gadgets. I use it almost every night to stream content directly from places like Netflix and Hulu to my TV. It also offers great support for Amazon and Vudu, up to p quality, if you have a higher-end model.
Xbox While Xbox Video has no real support outside devices using Microsoft's own operating systems, Xbox itself is pretty open to other providers. You can buy and view your purchased content from Xbox Video, of course.
But you can also access Amazon and Vudu. If you try to access them by saving them as a favorite or to your Watch Later list, they still won't play.
But if you want to watch purchased video, your choice is unsurprisingly only iTunes. None of the other providers is an option. Yes, you can get YouTube, but your purchased videos from Google Play won't be listed. Other devices There are many other devices that I haven't covered, perhaps most notably the Wii and the PS3.
I don't own either, so I couldn't test them. And the winner is So who's the winner in all this, the provider that if you buy from allows you the most choice? That's a pretty tough call. It's easy to look at all the 'no's' in the Xbox Video column and perhaps think that's the wrong choice to make. But if you own an Xbox and a PC, you'll get better quality downloads than Amazon currently allows, despite also being on the Xbox and the PC.
Google also may seem a pretty poor choice, when you consider that you can't download to anything but an Android device, and that streaming through the browser is only in SD. But if you're consuming video primarily through Android devices, Google is going to give you the quality edge over the only alternative, Vudu. If you have several Apple devices, iTunes can make a lot of sense.
Sure, you could buy from Vudu and download to your Mac, like iTunes allows. But Vudu support for iOS is pretty limited. Go to play. Click the movie or show you want to start watching. To close the web player, click anywhere outside the window. Playing videos works much like playing a digital song. You can't because it is for Android only. When you search, make sure that it is a Google certified image or you will get the Google Play store within it. Using a virtual machine is the only way to do it.
