Nice, I'm on IMDB often too. I'll check out this app.

Re: imdb app
 

Greetings. Ive been following this app, and i see its made it to .4 already. I dont mean to take over the op's thread, but here's the updated info with link to the devs main thread at xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619359

Description:
Unlike other IMDb apps which parse IMDb pages for information, this app uses the iPhone IMDb API to retrieve information from IMDb.com and display it on your Windows Mobile.

Update - v0.3
The application now directly mimics the iPhone App, so no external server is required - direct connection to app.imdb.com. The source code was ported to C# from the great work done by the guys at imdb-php:
http://code.google.com/p/imdb-php/

This application is still in beta, so please leave your feedback, requests & bug reports here!

Important Info
1. This application downloads a lot of data. Please ensure you're using an unlimited data plan
2. The "Download Thumbnails" feature is unstable. If you're experiencing a lot of errors, switch this off & soft-reset the device.
3. The application downloads data as-required. Therefore a constant data connection is preferred. Areas where signal is intermittent may cause errors

Features:
- Search Movies/TV/Video Games/Actors
- Finger-friendly interface
- DVD Covers
- Actor Headshots
- Trivia
- Quotes
- Photos
- Top 250
- Coming Soon List
- Videos/Trailers
- Goofs
- App-To-Date Support

Requirements:
.NET Framework 3.5

TODO List:
Low Priority
- Interface Design & Layout. Possibly separate versions for different resolutions
- Fix Thumbnails/Stability Issues

Known Issues:
- Quotes screen shows unnecessary whitespace
- Director filmography only shows Actor/"Self" roles


rorytmeadows, please feel free to throw up this info on the first post if you like. Thanks again for starting this thread.

After playing around with this app, ive decided its extremely cool. I was able to set coreplayer as the default media player, and trailers have played flawlessly through it. being early in develoment, there's room for improvement, but this is quickly becoming a must have app for film fanatics like myself. :) im hoping he adds the daily poll to the app.
