- Video content, including movie clips, trailers and TCM promos, all presented in their original aspect ratios, including widescreen content that maximizes the landscape-view option found on some devices, such as the iPhone and itouch

- Photo galleries for films playing on TCM

An optimized version of TCM's MovieMorlocks movie blog

- Articles by TCM staff members writing about the history and making of films on TCM 

The TCM app is available now in the U.S. for $2.99 from the iTunes app store or at http://itunes.com/apps/tcmmobile. 

It’ll be available in the Blackberry App World and Android Market in February.
