No more waiting in line in front of Walgreens to rent a DVD.

When you think of Redbox, you probably don’t think of streaming movies to your TV or smartphone. Redbox has represented the last remnants of paying to rent physical media, but that’s about to change. Today Redbox announced its plans to take on Netflix with its own movie streaming service. Accompanying apps for Android and iOS will come out when the service begins its invite-only rollout later this month.

For $8 per month, Redbox will give you unlimited streaming and four nights of physical DVD rentals from any Redbox kiosk. Pay $1 more and you’ll get four Blu-ray rentals as an upgrade. Netflix customers can either have unlimited streaming or only unlimited DVD rentals for $8 per month.

Schmidt say down with Bloomberg to talk about the mobile war with Apple and said that with 1.3 million new Android devices being activated per day, he thinks it’s pretty obvious that Android is winning now.

Motorola no longer has its sight solely on Apple as they’ve now turned their attack towards Android’s top dog Samsung. Motorola’s latest ad campaign pits the Motorola RAZR HD against the Samsung Galaxy S III, with a slogan of “It’s not easy. downloading… from another galaxy.” Motorola boasts an outrageous claim of 49% faster download speeds, which I find extremely difficult to believe considering the U.S. Samsung Galaxy S III has the same Qualcomm processor and modem as the RAZR HD — not to mention 1GB more RAM.

It’s coming.

Samsung has been busy rolling out Android 4.1 Jelly Bean upgrades this month.
