we'll give customers instant access to any movie on any device with an
Internet connection and a screen," said Keith Morrow, Blockbuster's
chief information officer.
The story also reports that Blockbuster could use the
technology in airports. Where travelers download
movies from Blockbuster kiosks to portable media players.
The service will be built on the new software platform from Microsoft, "Live Mesh." The platform allows Internet devices to share data.
