Unfortunately, the SmartPhone version does not include one of the cooler features that the PPC version has - a conduit for DVD release and film festival updates. The DVD release info could then be added to your calendar to inform you of pending DVD releases.

I've noticed a number of cross-platform products have stuff in the PPC versions that get shortchanged in the SmartPhone version. Another one is Trancreative's excellent WordBook dictionary. The PPC version includes utilities for anagrams and other crossword puzzle related tools. The SmartPhone version doesn't have these additional tools. But the price rarely is less for the SP version, even if shortchanged :evil:
