On-the-Go? Start Watching and Downloading your Movie at the Same Time
Palo Alto, Calif. (August 30, 2011)—Popular cloud entertainment provider mSpot, Inc., today announced it has enabled downloading capabilities to mSpot Movies™, and that the new feature will be offered as an update to the preloaded mSpot Movie streaming application on Lenovo IdeaPad K1 and Lenovo ThinkPad tablets in September. The new feature enables people to start watching a movie while the download is in progress, and finish it later when they’re offline – making entertainment on the tablet easier and more accessible.
Lenovo users can access the preinstalled mSpot Movies application on their tablets to find a selection of new release movies available for instant downloading and streaming.
“Our tablets were designed to give spontaneous and instantaneous entertainment - anywhere you want it. We’re excited to provide the most accessible movie-watching experience with mSpot Movies, giving Lenovo users the best on the market,” stated Ninis Samuel, Global Director of Mobile Product Marketing for Lenovo.
“Anyone who has ever streamed a movie knows how much the Internet connection impacts the experience. Now, you can say goodbye to buffering issues; start watching and downloading the movie in the airport, and continue watching it offline on the airplane,” stated Daren Tsui, CEO and co-founder, mSpot.
mSpot was the first to offer streaming movies on mobile and has been enhancing and optimizing its mobile entertainment technology since 2006. mSpot Movies is currently available on over 70 handsets and on all of the top U.S., carrier networks; providing the ultimate mobile entertainment experience.
