News: Vimeo app to support Android, Windows Phone and Kindle Fire

The iOS video application Vimeo is all set to launch for Android, Windows Phone and the Kindle Fire. The apps feature the full Vimeo experience, so you’ll be able to like, share, and comment as you do on the web site, in addition to the usual search and video watching.

A free download that works on any device running Gingerbread or later, Vimeo’s Android offering greets you with a grid of basic options for creating, uploading, and watching video. Vimeo integrated Android’s sharing options, so you’ll be able to send video via any social networks for which you have an app installed. While the app doesn’t require a Vimeo account, logging in gives you the full range of Vimeo features, including commenting, saving, and viewing your Watch Later list.

Android – For users of 10-inch tablets, the Android app provides a modified experience that takes advantage of the larger screen real estate to browse other videos, recommendations, collections, and more while a video plays in a separate pane

Kindle Fire – The new Kindle Fire edition ran smoothly, but doesn’t feature the modified layout you’ll find in larger Android tablets – it’s more like an expanded version of the phone app.

Windows Phone – For Windows Phone, Vimeo went classic Metro style, and it’s the most impressive app among the new lineup.

Like with iOS and Android, you can shoot and upload video from the Vimeo app, or upload videos that you’ve previously created. For now, video editing is still an iOS only feature. The apps should be available for download today.
