Digiboo expands to Twin Cities shopping malls

October 11, 2012

Digiboo's video kiosks, which offer movie downloads for rent or purchase, are moving beyond the airport realm and into shopping malls in Minneapolis, according to an article on StarTribune.com.

Digiboo now has a total of 35 kiosks at three airports and another five at non-airport retail locations, such as malls and coffee shops, the article reported.

Along with the broader distribution, the Digiboo kiosks have become more advanced, the article reported. They are now Wi-Fi hot spots for downloading movies to tablet computers and smartphones. Laptop users can choose between Wi-Fi or USB to download, and the software needed to play the Digiboo videos can be downloaded from the kiosk as well, according to the article.

"In order to really fit into the lifestyle of portable movie watching, we must support tablet computers," said Blake Thomas, Digiboo's CMO, in the article. "Digiboo will increase its user base enormously by serving Android devices. Compared to the laptop market we now have, I think we'll be roughly doubling our user base."
