Universal has a new app coming to the iPhone next week, one that you might not expect from the film studio. It’s a Blu-ray application, one that allows users to download content from BR discs to their iPhone or iPod Touch or even remotely control features on the disc. If you can’t recall, Universal was the last major studio to abandon HD DVD for Blu-ray, officially ending the Blu-ray competitor’s lifespan.

The application launches on the 28th as in conjunction with the Fast & Furious Blu-ray release. Initially, users will be able to view 360 degree models of the various cars from F&F while they watch. For later titles, the app will require an internet-connected Blu-ray player and will include social network integration, allowing you to update your Facebook friends on your movie life.

Universal’s application, which is the first of its kind from the movie industry, will be free. You can see the full press release at PR NewsWire.
