Blockbuster streaming movies coming to mobile

Blockbuster is going to develop a mobile video service that will stream video to your phone. The service will be built on Microsoft’s Live Mesh software platform. Keith Morrow, Blockbuster’s chief information officer, says the user will be able to watch a movie on a mobile phone, pause the media stream, and return to the movie from a home PC picking up right where they left off.

“Eventually, we’ll give customers instant access to any movie on any device with an Internet connection and a screen. More immediately, we could use this technology to reach into airports. Travelers could quickly download movies from Blockbuster kiosks to their portable media players.”

I’m not sure when the service is launching, but I’ll keep you updated!

uVuMobile and CinemaNow team up for mobile movie service


uVuMobile and CinemaNow have announced a partnership to bring movie purchasing power to mobile phones. Using the service, Internet-capable mobile phones can watch trailers (I hope you have an unlimited data plan if you do), as well as purchase or rent over 10,000 titles. The titles are then sent straight to your PC at home, so if you hear about a movie while you’re out and about you can buy it right then and have it waiting for you when you get home. You can also set up the service to go to a network storage device or portable media player, if that’s your thing. Pretty cool, all in all.

The company will either develop the game and then publish it themselves or allow another company to publish it, where before they simply licensed their IP to other developers. Their first batch of titles will likely be released sometime later this year, but what movies they’ll be based on has yet to be revealed.
