Toshiba to Bundle Vongo with Laptops

Computer manufacturer Toshiba said Tuesday that it will begin bundling a free 30-day trial of Starz Vongo movie service with its Satellite or Qosmio laptop computers in the US beginning in July. The company will place an icon on the desktop of its computers as part of the agreement to allow consumers to register for their trials of the service. Starz typically charges $9.99 USD per month for access to Vongo.

In total, Vongo hosts about 2,500 videos and provides access to a live stream of one of the network's movie channels. In addition, it offers several pay-per-view selections. Content is viewable on any Windows Media-based device or Windows PC. Starz already has a prior standing relationship with Toshiba to bundle the service with other products.
