According Chris Armstrong, Porto Media is setting up kiosks so that consumers can download movies to a flash card or portable hard drive. Porto Media has a high speed flash card that DVD movies can be downloaded from Movie Point kiosk less than 15 seconds. Kiosks are independent stand from which merchandise is sold. You may see them in the common area of shopping centers. Kiosks have a hard drive that holds over 5,000 titles. Kiosk software is used to manage a touch screen which allows users to touch the monitor screen and make their own selections. Using kiosks, you would be able to rent or buy standard-definition movies. Armstrong quotes, “Movies from Porto Media can be watched on TV or PCs. I transferred Spiderman from a portable hard drive to an iPod Touch and it took six seconds.”
