Blockbuster looking to offer movie rentals on your cellphone

Blockbuster is currently in talks with “virtually all of the major manufacturers” in an effort to allow customers to watch movies on their mobile phones. Chief Executive James Keyes,  stated that he began watching movies on his BlackBerry with some “help from a technical expert at Blockbuster.“ The movies were downloaded from the recently purchased Movielink service and placed on an external storage card that he was able to use in his BlackBerry.

Blockbuster is currently looking in to making the process easier and more convenient for the consumer. With Blockbuster taking a back seat to online services like Netflix, this may help get them back on track. An availability date for the service has not been announced, but with mobile phone displays getting nicer and large storage cards being readily available a service like this could actually work nice.
