Indian Spice Phone Has Optical Disk Drive For 2.5 Hour Movies [Cellphones]
Posted by: admin in Tech News Today
It’s really unlikely that this Motion picture Phone from the Indian cellphone maker Spice would make it anywhere besides India, but it’s an incredible phone because of what it’s got on the back: an optical drive. This h.264 optical drive loads into the back of the phone much like UMDs into a PSP, and can fit a 2.5 hour film into one disc. There’s going to be 40 movies available in India at launch, which will be followed by 1,000 more movies later. We only have one question, which will probably be the only time anyone on earth ever asks this question: Why didn’t they just go with UMDs instead of making a proprietary format? [Tech Digest]
