Motorola and Blockbuster have teamed up to launch a new movie download service for mobile phone users. The duo has teamed up in a bid to compete with rivals Apple (offering video downloads via itunes) and Lovefilm (which blockbuster has struggled against in the past).

The partnership will mean thousands of selected blockbuster titles will be made available to download via an on-demand application on certain Motorola handsets.

Christy Wyatt, from Motorola said "Mobile video entertainment is exploding, as consumers are demanding the widest selection of content: the movies they love in their living room and on their PC, now also available on their mobile phone, while on the go…Together with Blockbuster we intend to deliver an unparalleled portable movie experience on our next-generation handsets."
