This is a look at a potential kiosk for downloading movies from Mod Systems. The company is backed by  Toshiba and NCR and will detail next week how it sell music and movies through Internet-connected booths in retail stores.

Toshiba is expected to also demo decks that can play the movies on TVs. The flicks could be played through SD card slots, or through card adapters that plug into USB ports. Existing devices, such as TVs with USB slots, would need software updates to play the copy protected movies.
