Nokia Stars in Full Length Mobile Movie Rip-Off
"Modern cult classic 'The Shawshank Redemption', which stars Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins, is to become the first full-length movie to be available for download by mobile phone after a deal between Nokia, Granada Ventures and Rok Player. The movie from ITV's licencing division, Granada Ventures, comes in the form of a digital chip licensed by Rok Player, which can be inserted in multimedia-card-compatible mobile phones. The film will cost Nokia phone holders �16.99"
Wow, this is a pretty sweet deal Nokia has signed on for here. :roll: They want to sell you a mobile version of a full length movie for around $30, roughly $10 more than a DVD copy of the same movie. Needless to say, I sure it won't play nicely on your big screen TV, I'm sure it won't be digital surround sound, and I'm sure it would cost less for you to just buy the DVD and make your own mobile version using a simple tool like Mobile Media Maker. At least then you can watch the movie on any DVD player or Windows Mobile phone you want! :wink:
