It is.  You need the latest builds of both Gizmo and MC.

Conversion for streaming to the Android can take a long time but it is cached so the second time it's faster.  We've also begun working on pre-converting video.  There is an option to do this buried somewhere.  See JohnT's post from about a week ago for details.  This will be improved in the future.

Significant CPU power is required.
