When the HTC Evo 3D smartphone begins shipping this summer, Sprint (NYSE:S) will preload the HTC Watch movie application, promising consumers on-demand access to 2D and 3D movie and television content optimized for the device.
Sprint subscribers can buy or rent titles via HTC Watch–purchases begin at $8.99, with rentals ranging from $2.99 to $3.99. Users can store up to five movies in the HTC cloud, and view purchases across other HTC Devices. The Evo 3D also will preload the Blockbuster On Demand movies app, and, for a limited time, Sprint will ship the device complete with The Green Hornet 3D preloaded on its microSD card.
The HTC Evo 3D also emphasizes mobile gaming, and it will ship with a demo version of Ultimate Spider-Man: Total Mayhem 3D as well as the Gameloft Storefront, which features 3D titles likeAssassin’s Creed: Altair’s Chronicles andGT Racing Motor Academy.
Additional features include integrated Digital Living Network Alliance capability for sharing multimedia content to other connected devices, as well as tools for posting 3D video content to Facebook and YouTube–clips are automatically converted to the 2D format if the viewer’s device does not support 3D.
