"Movie Minutes" New Feature Will Stream Film Clips to Mobile Phones

Why do I think of Leonard Maltin when I hear the words "Movie Minutes"?

Anyway, that's the name of a new feature from mobile gaming experts I-play, which will stream feature film clips to mobile phones (provided that the phones can handle such "advanced" technology). You'll be able to access a main menu that arranges the available film clips by genre, theme, or plain old alphabetical order. Highlight the clip for the film you want to see, press a button or two on your phone's keypad, and away you go into movieland.


The deal is for Universal films only, at first. We presume that other studios will follow suit in the near future. And the service will be available initially only to customers of Amp'd, Rogers, Sprint, and Verizon. Again, we presume that other carriers will follow suit at some point.
