Developer’s description: The Hulu-like Bitbop streaming TV service for smartphones, unlike many, came out for the BlackBerry RIM device first. For a $10 monthly fee, Bitbop will let you watch full-length TV shows from Fox, CBS, NBC, Discovery, and Comedy Central — including programs such as Family Guy, 3D Rock, and Mythbusters on your smartphone. You can either view the TV shows as streaming video or download them. 3G and Wi-Fi connections are both supported. Bitbop will next be available for Android phones. Blackberry is an underserved platform for entertainment and Bitbop gives BlackBerries a chance to show what they can do.

Cost: Free app with $10/mo service

$10 a month?!?!? Are you kidding me?!? Better to use sling box and get everything if you really want to watch a full show on your cellphone anyway

MOBILE APPS SHOWDOWN

The Mobile Apps Showdown is a fast-paced contest where you're asked to weigh in on the apps you think have what it takes to make it. For the months leading up to the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2012) we'll be presenting the contestants to you. You can try them, watch demos, make your feelings known, and ultimately vote on a winner. We're platform agnostic, so if it's mobile it's in the competition.

The top ten apps will join us at CES 2012 for an action packed event hosted by Jon Hein and Gary Dell'Abate from the Howard Stern Show.
