The one-time darling of the cellphone industry, Motorola will roll out a movie download service in Europe in the coming weeks, launching first today in the UK. The service will have movies for around $12 to $18 a pop, and will have to be sideloaded—you download the motion picture first on your computer then transfer it to your phone. No over-the-air magic, in other words.
So far, Paramount is the only major studio to have signed up for the service.
Should be useful to those of you who take trains to and from the office. Actually, are there many long-distance commuters in the UK? Like, distances that require trips longer than a subway (tube) ride?
Beckham endorses Motorola, so that pic is relevant. Just barely.

Apple’s stock is about 4% lower (as of 3:45 PM on the east coast) than it started this day after Steve Jobs’ keynote speech at Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference. Trading opened at $184.92 per share this morning and is currently floating around $178 per share, with a daily high of $184.94 and a daily low of $175.75, according to Yahoo! Finance.
Apple’s stock price could have dropped for a number of reasons. The new iPhone 3G that was announced will be available in 70 countries on July 11th and will carry a base price of $199 everywhere, and the relatively low price and the fact that the device won’t be available until next month may be contributing factors to the stock’s value. The new iPhone’s low price is good for consumers but might be making investors a bit nervous, even though the almost-worldwide release should help matters. The low price comes with a catch, however; you must sign a two-year contract with AT&T.
