Many Choices When Downloading Movies

By George Benson

It seems only a few years ago that I began noticing people showing up with CDs with movie titles on them. I was amazed that we could now get free movies anytime we wanted. To my friends and me, it could not have been any better than that.

As downloadable movies became more and more popular so did the technology to access them. As a young adult, I had thought we had reached the height of technology when I saw that CD. I was so mistaken and it would only be a few years later that I would feel like that again.

Recently, Apple has been out doing itself with the various Ipods that have been releasing. They have the Ipod classic, nano, touch and I am sure many more. Ipod products play music, sound bytes and yes! They can even play downloadable movies.

So, if you are looking for one to put some movies on, what are some of the products that you can buy? How much can you plan on spending? How hard is it to put movies that you downloaded on your Ipod?

The most recent release is the Ipod Touch. There are endless amount of option with this but for movies, this is the product to have. All your movies can be watched in color and wide screen.

If you are undecided on a film or just curious you can check out the membership feedback. Netflicks has implemented a four star rating system in which the average rating is compiled for you. If that is not specific enough, then you can read individual postings where you can see real feedback of the movie.

For the movie viewer, it is easy to find what you are looking for. These sites are usually broken down by categories. The homepage to the site is usually full of the most recent movies on the internet.

Another neat feature allows you to pick up where you left off. If you leave during a movie on any other site, you will later have to find your spot. On Netflicks ?Watch Instantly? it bookmarks the exact second you stop watching and allows you to start there.

Another product that Apple has released was the Iphone. While it does not have the same movie features as the Ipod touch, it does have excellent internet abilities. With the Iphone, you can access movie sites and not have to worry about loading the movies.

With the Iphone, you can access certain streaming videos and watch clips right from Youtube and other sites alike. With the Iphone, it is as simple as using your web browser. For a 4 gigabyte Iphone you can expect around $500 and a contract with AT&T.

It is weird to think that we can now carry our downloaded movies around in our pockets. It is weird to think that we can stop a movie clip from the internet to answer the phone with the same product. Once again I say that it cannot get any better than this. - 15634
