Apple Unleashes iTunes Movie Trailer App
I still have yet to download the mobile operating system upgrade iOS 5 for my iPhone yet, but along with the software update comes a new app dedicated to movie trailers... the iTunes Movie Trailer App. Not only will the app be able to be used to watch movie trailers, but it also offers a movie release calendar where you can go to check for times and tickets at your local theater. It lists a synopsis, genre, director, and cast information, as one would expect. The application also lists similar titles and related videos that are currently available on iTunes. Apple also threw in Rotten Tomatoes scores and reviews right into the application. This app will definitely come in handy, I'll be giving up Flixter for this thing. Check out the official details below.
