Mobile phones are becoming more relevant every passing day, with this new venture Samsung might have just hit the jackpot, chi ching.

Samsung Movies For Mobile

Samsung has stepped up to the plate and launched Samsung Movies for mobile phones, the store is powered by Acetrax, users will be able to download and watch their movies on any Samsung handset that is compatible with the service or from a Laptop/PC. Currently there are over 500 titles available for purchase which includes big hits such as Iron Man, and the very long yet fun to watch, Batman The Dark Knight.

The service is expected to launch in the UK and Germany along with other European markets before the end of 2009, movies will start from £2.49 for 24hr rental, if you want to purchase the movie, prices will start from £4.99, sounds reasonable to me. Phones that support the service should be any high end Samsung handset with video playback, I wonder how long it takes to download a movie via mobile.
