The number one movie of the year thus far, and the third largest grossing film of all time, is coming to your
Samsung Galaxy S III if you are a T-Mobile customer. "Marvel’s The Avengers" will be available on September 25th to be loaded onto the phone via the Samsung Media Hub, only at T-Mobile. From there, it is just a matter of wirelessly sharing the flick with a compatible TV using the AllShare Cast feature and AllShare Cast Wireless Hub. And with the carrier's Unlimited Nationwide 4G Data plan, users can view movies and other content without worrying about data caps, overage charges or extraordinarily slow throttled data speeds.
According to the nation's fourth largest carrier, 91% of smartphone owners are using their device for entertainment purposes. So whether or not you're going to view video clips from YouTube or listen to music, T-Mobile makes it possible for you to install
every second of a movie or song without it counting against a data cap. This is important in an era where 11% of smartphone owners spend more time viewing video on their phone than they spend watching television.
Beginning September 25th, "Marvel’s The Avengers," will be pre-loaded onto all new and existing Samsung Galaxy S III models running on T-Mobile's network. That is the same day that the movie becomes available on Blu-ray 3D, Blue-ray, DVD, digital and on-demand throughout the United States. And thanks to a recent software update on the device, licensed content from the Samsung Media Hub can be shared wirelessly to an HDMI enabled television using Samsung AllShare Cast Wireless Hub. This accessory will be available from T-Mobile stores and online starting September 24th and will cost $99.99.

Further, the economic downturn in our markets, and changes in interest and currency exchange rates, may also have an impact on our business development and the availability of financing on favorable conditions. Changes to our expectations concerning future cash flows may lead to impairment write downs of assets carried at historical cost, which may materially affect our results at the group and operating segment levels. If these or other risks and uncertainties materialize, or if the assumptions underlying any of these statements prove incorrect, our actual performance may materially differ from the performance expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. We can offer no assurance that our estimates or expectations will be achieved.
