We haven't had much reason to discuss Playcast Media recently, with the Israel-based outfit failing to beat OnLive to the cloud-gaming market back in 2009. As of now, the Playcast Media service is live in Portugal, France and South Korea, but the company is set to launch its platform in the United States early next year.

So what is Playcast? It's a cloud gaming service streaming through set-top boxes, tablets, smartphones and PCs - basically, anything that can run Android 4.0 and higher.
