In a move that’s sure to delight movie lovers everywhere, IMDB has revamped its mobile site (which can be found at m.imdb.com) to add support for webOS.  Tasks that used to involve multiple, painstaking steps of pinching and zooming and panning followed by more pinching and zooming and panning are made infinitely easier with a vastly improved interface.

The search bar handily sits atop the page so you can easily prove your friends wrong the next time you’re in a debate about who directed what and when they directed it.  Photo galleries and trailers are easy to get to and browse, plot synopsis and links to reviews and additional resources are now an easy click away, and you can even set how large the font is displayed while browsing through the mobile portal.

This is the IMDB site we should have had all along. Heck, install one of the ‘Add IMDB to Universal Search’ patches and you’re in movie searching heaven.

Research company KPMG conducted a survey of some 5,600 people in 22 countries to ascertain what their mobile banking habits were, and the results are rather interesting.  Only 16% of respondents in the US said they were comfortable using their mobile devices for financial transactions, up from 7% last year. The report reveals that while US consumers are beginning to adopt the practice in greater numbers, they’re still behind much of the world:  a good third of the respondents in other countries are comfortable making financial transactions from their mobile devices.  The reason against engaging in such activities on their mobiles, according to 56% of the American respondents, were security and privacy concerns.

The PreCentral readership is generally a tech-savvy bunch, so we we’re curious: how many of you access your bank accounts and otherwise engage in financial transactions through your phone/tablet/web-connected microwave?
