New Application Allows RIM (RIMM) Blackberry To Become A TV

Video software company QuickPlay Media has launched a new application that will allow users to watch full-length TV on a RIM (RIMM) BlackBerry.

According to the company,”The monthly subscription fee-based service will be available in early May via the BlackBerry App World™ storefront.” The on-demand service will include “The Office” and other popular television programs.

No one will use the service for the same reason that very few people watch feature-length films on Apple (AAPL) iPods. The screens are too small and glare ruins the picture. No one should count on the product to help RIM sales.
