Asia.cnet.com: Starting this month, some Sony Ericsson mobile phone users in Asia will be able to download full-length movies, TV series, games and music onto their handsets via download kiosks. The new service, which comes as part of a content licensing partnership with Sony Pictures Entertainment, will have over 23,000 DRM-free songs, 30 movie titles, four TV series and 25 games at launch. Users must purchase a stored value smart card from Sony Ericsson stores, plug their phone to the kiosk, and browse the available content via a touchscreen panel before downloading directly to the handset.
