<p><strong>Features</strong></p>
<ul><li>Trailers, posters, and info for 50 movies</li>
<li>Trailers are high quality, for optimum viewing </li>
<li>App is updated with new trailers often</li>
<li>Poster Flow makes for an easy-to-use App</li></ul>
<p><strong>Limitations</strong></p>
<ul><li>Can only be used over WiFi (High quality trailers over 3G would make for heavy data transmittal, per Apple)</li></ul>
<p><strong>Summary</strong></p>
<p>As long as you are in a WiFi hot spot, Trailers Lite is a great movie App. It "only" offers 50 movies in comparison to its paid counterpart, <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=287917528&mt=8">Trailers</a>, which offers 300 listings. But like the free version, Trailers is only accessible via WiFi and offers the same functionality. Unless you want to pay four dollars for an extended library of movies, it may be better to stick with Trailers Lite.</p>
