i'd still like to see support for local movie listings. my palm has a great program called showtimes. the problem is that i don't use my palm much so it's not as handy as the tv is.
in it, you basically put in your desired zip code, much like the weather, and it comes back with a full list of theaters for that area (based on yahoo and others). i should point out that showtimes works all over the globe based on only a couple movie showtime sources. anyway, from that list you then simply either included or exclude theaters from your desired list and from that point forward you then see movie listing for only the desired theaters.
in addition it allows you to view by theater or movie simply by clicking a single circular icon. one moment i'm looking at the listing for the local sony theater and i select "kill bill vol. 2". i then just click the icon and i see when and where kill bill vol. 2 is playing in my list of desired theaters. very handy.
anyone else think it's interesting?
