I'm curious everyones thoughts.
Not surprised that it is free right now - it's in beta, so they are unlikely to charge. Once it moves beyond beta, it's anybody's guess. With the industry trend to charge for everything, I wouldn't bet on it being free. Currently UA offers NO free domestic entertainment, so why start now?? Also note that the system only works on laptops or iOS devices - still not android.
