HBO heads to the iPad with their own streaming HBO Go service

HBO has over 800 hours of Movies and HBO TV available online through its own HBO Go streaming web service. And yes, that includes the “Taxicab Confessions” type programming as well. Somehow I think that will be among the most popular watched shows.
At the moment, content is only provided to subscribers on Verizon Fios and Comcast at no additional cost. According to Bloomberg, HBO Go will become available for the Apple iPad and other mobile devices within the next 6 months.
Overall, the site is easy to navigate, offers lots of show extras, and gives more detailed information about the cast and crew. 800 hours sounds like a lot, but it is really a very small segment of their entire library of HBO shows. Hopefully we will see a separate paid model for non-subscribers when HBO Go hits mobile devices.
