Following on from my post about wanting a ‘higher definition’ for (video) content that is arriving on our Mobiles, I was wondering whether any of our readers had actually used their devices for watching lot of (video) content? If so, what were their most enjoyable experiences?
I remember seeing the Nokia N95-8Gb when it first arrived, containing a copy of Spiderman 3 – now that was part of a big marketing push, with the film being DRM’d, and occupying about 1Gb of storage – but the quality was fantastic.
Likewise, the Motorola Z8 in some markets came with the ‘Bourne Identity’, and I believe the Z10 may even have had the entire Bourne trilogy bundled with it! Overall, those are all great quality movies!
But I wonder whether IntoMobile users have had similar/different experiences with content that they have seen on either their own, or friends, devices? What was it about the content, and the quality, that made it good? Was it a combination of a specific situation that made it memorable? We’d love to know your thoughts!
I am plumping for Spiderman 3 on the N95-8Gb, until someone betters it

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.

I have a downloaded copy (from itunes) of SHOOTER and I recently watched it traveling on a plane, the sound was great and the picture fantastic, after about five minutes i totally forgot that I was watching it on a smallish screen and got immersed in the film. Spiderman 3 is good i will agree though!!!
