Great...
It's the mobile version of REDBOX except I don't have to find a location :33:
This should be entertaining to those who find themselves traveling from day to day and need some entertainment to break the monotony.

from the mSpot site:

Q: How long do I have to watch each movie?

A: The movie rental period varies by movie, based on what the movie studios allow. The rental time ranges from 24 hours to several days.

What happens if you are traveling and have a poor connection? Seems a little expensive if you ask me. Compared to a service like NetFlix.
