Nokia offers Mission Impossible 3 on phone-memory card

[Bob Crabtree]

Nokia has tied up a deal with Paramount Pictures to let it offer Mission: Impossible: 3 on mobile phone memory cards from October 30 - the day the movie debuts on DVD in Europe.

The on-card film has a stereo soundtrack and runs at a PAL-standard 25 frames per second. It can be copied off to a PC either for backup or to free the space on the card. However, Nokia says that the movie can't be played on a PC and also can't be copied to a different memory card, only to the original.

Nokia says that the movie can't be played on a PC and also can't be copied to a different memory card, only to the original.

Hmm, sounds a bit dodgy to me. So If your card gets frelled you'll still lose the movie despite having it backed up (and I've had a few memory cards fail on me in the past).

That, I presume, is exactly the score.

However, it's possible that Nokia could have some way of just swapping the card out for another one with the movie on it.

Afterall, it knows that you can't do anything a movie you removed, so it's not as though you'd now have two usable copies.
