Blu-ray on Your iPhone


Blu-ray meets the iPhone, and instantly it’s a match made in heaven. A perfect marriage of mobility and entertainment is formed, and everyone lives happily ever after! Is it the plot of a new movie? Not quite.

It’s breaking news of a new iPhone app that lets you access special features of Blu-ray discs from your iPhone – both at home and on-the-go. Universal Studios is the first to harness this pairing of energies, saying that it will start releasing many of its (top-grossing, no doubt) feature films on Blu-ray discs enabled with a wide variety of features and functions for use with iPhones and iPod Touches, including many internet/Wi-Fi based interactivity features, which can be accessed by these handheld devices through the aid of a companion app that, conveniently, is also available at Apple’s iTunes App Store.

The iPhone Blu-ray app will launch of July 28, making its debut hand-in-hand with the release of the 2-disc Special Edition of “Fast and the Furious”, the first to be released with this new technology, which Universal is called BD-Live.

Other BD-Live Blue-Ray discs will follow, with additional capabilities, including bonus content from the films that can be downloaded to the iPhone or iPod Touch and well as additional information about the movie, its making, and its cast and crew, that can only be accessed this way – iPhone Exclusives, as it were.

Users will also be able to control their TV and Blu-ray players with their iPhone or iPod Touch, just like it was a wireless remote control. And among these iPhone bonus features on Blue-Ray BD-Live discs will be support for network integration with other iPhone apps that deal with social networking on sites like Twitter and Facebook.

How’s that for a Special Feature?

The apps is free, incidentally, and the “Fast and the Furious” 2-Disc Special Edition on Blu-ray disc with BD-Live is $39.98.
