Blockbuster to deliver T-Mobile downloads

Blockbuster in the US will be the exclusive provider of movie downloads for T-Mobile’s upcoming HD2 smart phone, which features a 4.3-inch screen, compared with Apple iPhone’s 3.5-inch screen.

Users will be able to buy, rent and watch with the Blockbuster On Demand app for the HD2 which will also allow the transfer of content to another internet-connected device. Blockbuster on Demand is the video rental chain’s first video download application for smart phones.

T-Mobile said it will also preload Paramount Pictures’ “Transformers” and “Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen” on the HD2’s memory card, “optimised for viewing” on the smart phone’s high-resolution screen.
