Latest kiosk idea: Download to a flash, in a flash
August 28, 2007
The Hollywood Reporter: Dozens of kiosks are soon expected to start popping up in Galway, Ireland. PortoMedia, a small technology company, is developing a DRM-friendly rental alternative to Blockbuster or CinemaNow. Porto's kiosks, which would be installed in retail locations, allow consumers to download movies to a flash memory card in just 15 seconds (at a rate of 1.5 gigabytes per second). The so-called "movie key" can then be plugged into the USB port of a computer, television monitor or mobile screen for viewing on the go or in the home. IBM, Samsung and Toshiba have come to the aid of Porto in the development.
