EPIX — the service formed by such giants as Viacom’s Paramount Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios and Lionsgate — announced that it has added mobile capabilities to its multiplatform offer, “expanding the viewing experience across the third screen.” As a result, all interested parties (including cable, telco and satellite distributors) will be able to expand the EPIX experience to mobile phone users.
For this endeavor, EPIX has joined the Open Screen Project and teamed up with Adobe to demonstrate a mobile version of the channel. Unsurprisingly, the service runs on Flash Player 10.1, providing users with access to the entire EPIX lineup, including feature-title playback and programming extras.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
