By Heather Timmerman Internet TV, Preview Networks PR and News Comments Off

As any proud partner, we are delighted to share the news about CineTrailer’s UK Second Place win, not to mention the UK Popular Choice Award in the Samsung Smart TV Challenge for the Cinetrailer.tv application, with content provided by Preview Networks.

The “innovative service with an easy to use interface” as rated by the judges, came in second place out of 76 applicants and 8,500 online votes.  The purpose of the competition was to educate consumers about the Smart TV Platform and also give praise to the developers for creating good apps.

This is not the first time we have mentioned CineTrailer in our blog, and I am sure it will not be the last as we are always looking for innovative ways to expand our service channels and work with forward thinking partners that truly understand the potential of video content and a partner like CineTrailer who is always on top of market developments and emerging platforms, makes for very valuable partnership indeed.

Will Smartphones rule in 2011?

By Heather Timmerman Digital Media Trends, General Comments Off

As the current year comes to a close we are curious about the upcoming trends the new year will bring.  If you’ve followed our blog in 2010 you have heard us talk about mobile A LOT.   Not only does the statistical trending data support this, but we have the customer requests for mobile apps in nearly all markets to back it up.

See past blogs on: Filmtrailer App,  Cinematografo.it, Windows 7 on CineTrailer, iBest Movie App, My Movies iPhone App as just a few examples of this trend.   However, we are aware that not everyone is on the mobile train when it comes to normal every day use.

Recent data from comScore seems to suggest that smartphone subscribers in the U.S. lean towards the 25 – 44 age group.  That’s a good amount of the population at 51% of smartphone subscribers and 36% of total mobile subscribers which means there is reason to believe this could be an increasing trend.

Apple is leading the way with the iPhone, but it will be interesting to see how usage will be affected with Google and Microsoft also in the market.  According to research posted from IDC in the New York Times, they predict that “half of the 2.1 billion people who regularly use the Internet will do so using non-PC devices” in 2011.  That’s a pretty big prediction if we do say so ourselves, but one we will definitely keep our eye on in the new year.
