Speaking with hardware oriented website, Gizmodo, the CTO of NetBlender revealed that they later this week they will release a new SDK for iPhone developers, allowing Apple's mobile to interact with PS3 for movie Playback.
The CTO, Denny Breitenfeld, explained that the new SDK will give iPhone applications developers access to features beyond play, pause and time seek. "It's a technology that is built into our professional Blu-Ray authoring tool that will allow studios, independent movie companies to enable BD Touch features. These features send data in two directions from the Disc to the iPhone and vice versa. Video, Audio, text, and player commands can be sent," he said. "So right now it seems everyone likes the "remote control" idea. However the player can control the iPhone as well."
"One idea is to automatically pull up [IMDB info] of the movie you are watching right on your iPhone or send the movie information a movie database on your phone. The ideas are only limited to what people want and will use."
"BD Touch will also be able to get digital copies of the movies inside the Blu-ray disc, presumably already encoded for iPod touch and iPhone playback."
