CinemaNow Allows Movie Rentals Via Cell Phone

For those who really, really like to program ahead, the Web-based film service have introduced a mobile characteristic that lets you to utilize your Web-enabled cell telephone to download movies.

Not to your cell phone, though. No, the service called lets you to utilize your telephone to download movies to your computing machine at home, provided that computing machine have the CinemaNow Media Director up and running on it. According to the service's FAQ section, "On CinemaNow Mobile River you can browsing the same CinemaNow picture selection, ticker trailers, do purchases and have got the picture download at any of your PC's."

Cool, But is it Practical?

CinemaNow's logic for using the service travels like this:

"Let's state you're at the autobus station or at a friend's house, thinking about what to watch tonight when you acquire back home. Once you bought and sent your picture to your place personal computer via your phone, it will be there for you waiting to be watched when you acquire back."

Maybe it's just me, but that's 1 of the last things I'm thinking about at the autobus station. And if I was bored enough at a friend's house to be using my telephone to tell movies to my computer, it's probably clip for that friend and I to re-evaluate where we're at as far as friendly relationships go.

At any rate, the ability to watch dawdlers on your telephone is pretty cool but I'd be interested to see how many CinemaNow clients actually utilize this service to remotely download movies to their PCs. I utilize CinemaNow every so often to lease movies and they begin streaming pretty quickly. You don't have got to wait until they're fully downloaded to begin watching. This looks like a edge time-saver astatine best.

The adjacent frontier will be to download the movies directly to your phone, which CinemaNow's head operating military officer Saint David Cook states we'll likely see sometime adjacent year. In the meantime, the company will be working with radio bearers to seek to acquire the CinemaNow mobile service integrated into French telephone menus.
