CinemaNow Allows Movie Rentals Via Cell Phone
For those who really, really like to plan ahead, the Web-based movie service CinemaNow has introduced a mobile feature that allows you to use your Web-enabled cell phone to download movies.
Not to your cell phone, though. No, the service called CinemaNow Mobile allows you to use your phone to download movies to your computer at home, provided that computer has the CinemaNow Media Manager up and running on it. According to the service’s FAQ section, “On CinemaNow Mobile you can browse the same CinemaNow video selection, watch trailers, make purchases and have the video download at any of your PC’s.”
Cool, But is it Practical?
CinemaNow’s logic for using the service goes like this:
“Let’s say you’re at the bus station or at a friend’s house, thinking about what to watch tonight when you get back home. Once you bought and sent your video to your home PC via your phone, it will be there for you waiting to be watched when you get back.”
Maybe it’s just me, but that’s one of the last things I’m thinking about at the bus station. And if I was bored enough at a friend’s house to be using my phone to order movies to my computer, it’s probably time for that friend and I to re-evaluate where we’re at as far as friendships go.
