Nokia Release Mission Impossible III on MiniSD
In a Hollywood first, Nokia today announced the launch of the full length blockbuster movie M:i:III on memory cards exclusively with the Nokia Nseries to coincide with the film's DVD release [via AllAbout Symbian]
"The full length film, which is supplied on a 512MB miniSD card, runs at 25 frames per second, and you can rewind, fast forward, stop and continue watching the movie anytime.
The action-packed feature film will be offered as part of the Nokia N93 sales package with no additional cost to consumers. It will be available in Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Turkey and the UK.
... The movie cannot be played on the PC nor can it be copied to another memory card."
Earlier this week, a new Swedish movie called “Förortsungar” opened at cinemas in Sweden. But already five days prior to its official premiere the movie was pre-launched on cell phones - thanks to Swedish telecom operator Tele2.
