You'll be amazed

When your flight gets delayed at the airport thanks to the drunken person next to you or the flight before yours. (Or latest terrorist threat), any form of entertainment, even on a little screen will be enjoyable.

Re: You'll be amazed

you know my luck I would order one of those films and find out the rental is a few dollars and in really fine print "additional airtime charges apply" and whamo there goes 2 hours of your minutes or "normal data rates apply" Boom over your data usage limits and huge overage fee. Not in anyway saying this is happening but with my luck it would be what applies to my cell carrier plan.

Exactly.
But you know somebody will be stupid enough to pay.
Movies are barely watchable on my G5 iPod.
On a phone I can imagine optometrist bills going up.
Sprint needs to spend more time improving Call Quality on it's networks and less time on gimmicks.

Is there anybody who ever made a trip without a book...?

I know most of the US is hooked on cheap Hollydumb movies but I can't imagine somebody travels without a book.

Battery life

I wonder how long before the battery goes dead? After 30 minutes into the movie??? LOL

Please, invest in something else, say, netflix or blockbuster (5.99/month).

Correct expression though I'd use a 'f*ckin' on front of it.

I can't see how your cellphone battery could even last long enough to watch a full-length movie before it needs recharging.

Wow. Perhaps you're reading the wrong type of books. Compare any movie that was derived from a book and in virtually every instance, the book was better.

Some people like to read entertaining books, and others don't. It has nothing to do with how good the book is or how enjoyable it is to you. If I travel, I read magazines, but for the most part I like watching movies on my PSP or playing games on my DS or PSP. Makes the time go by faster for me.
