Long-suffering movie – and Leonard Maltin – fans, your patience is about to be rewarded. Maltin’s annual film guide is now live on the Apple iTunes store, for iPhone and iPod Touch.

Produced by LandWare, Inc., which had previously adapted the Penguin Books annual bestseller for smart phones, the application will bring in lots of new fans, satisfy old ones who have longed for the interactivity of a digital version, settle a million bets and launch a million friendly arguments.

If you’re still a paper person, you can pick up the paperback at a bookstore or Amazon.com.

But if you want to enjoy the full functionality, the Landware app is for you. Check out the video.
