Vimeo announced today that they have added Android and iPhone playback for all the videos in its staff picks and HD video showcase sections and plan to add support soon for all Plus members (and their videos). Vimeo has quickly become a favorite in the online video space because of its high quality video options and its community features. Below you’ll find Vimeo’s announcement, via Twitter:

Here is a link to a video that has been Android-enabled. Would you like if Android and Me began serving videos via Vimeo? Or does everyone like YouTube just fine? Sound off in the comments…
