Now that HBO made their standalone streaming service official, it looks like Showtime is about to do the same. HBO Now was announced at the Apple Watch Event with a price of $14.99 per month, but more importantly, no cable subscription required.

No word on exactly when you able to get your Showtime stream on, but CBS CEO Les Moonves said “the not-too-distant future.” I think it's safe to bet they will launch something by the Summer. The only question is if Apple will snag an exclusive like they did with HBO? Maybe Google can grab this one for Android TV?

His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.
