A
new app, which will be available on
multiple devices, provides info on advanced schedules,
fan commentary, classic film-related widescreen video
content, TCM's movie blog, and photo galleries, with
posters, artwork, and publicity stills. It’ll be available
for
iPhone,
Blackberry, and
Android mobile devices.
The first phase brings the TCM mobile
device app to iPhone, itouch, Blackberry, and Android mobile
devices.
The elements include:
- A complete schedule of movies playing
on TCM, with full-month views up to two months in advance,
personalized to each fan's time zone
- An optimized version of the TCM Movie
Database, with synopses, credits, trivia, detailed background
information from the American Film Institute film catalog and
fan comments
- 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.
