The movie rental company launched its newest enterprise on Wednesday, beating rival Netflix to the punch in mobile movie streaming commercially. Blockbuster is now offering on demand video via T-Mobile’s new HTC HD2 smart phone. The new service is also expected to be available on Android and Windows Mobile phones soon.
Looks like pricing will be from a range of $2.99-$3.99 for most titles ranging from old classic titles to new releases. It appears that there are also some for free at the moment as well. Rentals currently are for 24 hours from the time you hit the play button. Not bad when you think about it, right? Streaming movies anywhere you have 3G coverage or a wifi signal.

wow, you just shamelessly copied the entire final paragraph from AllDroid and presented it as your own.
That’s OK, half the first paragraph is copied without even an attempt to paraphrase from the CNN Money quote which is RIGHT after it. This works out great on the front page, where it just looks like the same sentence appears twice, since (stylistically) you can’t even tell that there’s quoted text.
ASpin needs someone to suck it up and start editing these articles before they’re posted.

Ummm…. there’s no mention anywhere that Blockbuster has an app for Android. They say it’s coming, but it could be months before we see it hit the market. Blockbuster is make their app available on the HTC HD2 which launched yesterday on T-Mobile, but that’s a Windows Mobile phones, not Android.
