Everybody hates queues. That's why online movie ticket sales have been increasing in popularity, But if  you're away from your home computer? After all, many of these services require you to print out e-tickets.
Well, now it seems you can just as easily get your movie tickets from your cell phone if you happen to be on the move; Fandango Wireless has officially launched the service for Sprint Nextel subscribers. Using your handset's web browser, you hop onto the Fandango Wireless portal, look up your movie, showtimes, and locations, and then you are sent a "virtual ticket". Basically, it's just an image of a barcode that can be scanned when you get to the theatre itself.
This sounds like an excellent idea, but you have to wonder about mobile phone screen resolutions. After all, a barcode is pretty detailed and having it just a little off will make that scanning process much more difficult, leading to a more frustrating evening than simply waiting in line.
