A File Sharers Dream

Now consumers world wide have the ability to download, share, and stream torrents on their handheld devices. UTorrent has offered an app to the Android marketplace that allows users to control their uploads and downloads via smartphone or tablet.

The best part about this app is that now you have the ability to watch the torrented files directly, simply by clicking the link and watching it unfold before your eyes. A great point made by CNETs host however is that Wifi better be enabled when controlling your torrents because data stream will be astronomical.

I found this article interesting primarily because of the discussion we had on media and the music industry last week. Torrents have always posed a threat to record labels and the movie/tv industry, but with the introduction of this product they should expect sales to drop.
