I remember the quote of a renowned blogger, “wait till your mobile phone comes equipped with a Swiss-knife”. Well his sarcastic bend surely seems realistic with mobile phones drastically evolving as a multi-faceted gadget.

BK Modi’s Spice Televentures new LaunhMovie card adds a complete new deminesion to the utility-factor of mobile phones. Unveiled by Hotspot (Spice Telecom’s mobile phone retailing venture ) LaunchMovie cards enable users to watch latest Bollywoood movies on the go. The 1-GB movie cards are available for Rs. 350 for your personal viewing pleasure.

The Bright Side
* Enjoy movies on the move (very useful in a long train journey)
* The I-GB card comes packed with ringtones, trivia, wallpapers and more
* All phones with an SD card slot can avail of the service
* Supports MP4 and 3gp formats

The Down Side
* The price. At Rs. 350 it does not seem like a great deal
* Designed for a 320×240 pixel screens
* You would have to make your own popcorn

I really do not buy the entire idea of watching anything (be it movies or music videos) on my mobile phone. It is always great fun to enjoy your masala blockbusters on the big screen (after all it makes Sharukh Khan look good!). If any of you every opt for the LaunchMovie do share your experience with us. Till then keep coming back for more news on these pages.
