When the HTC Evo 3D smartphone begins shipping this summer, Sprint (NYSE:S) will preload the HTC Watch movie application, promising consumers on-demand access to 2D and 3D movie and television content optimized for the device.

Sprint's HTC Evo 3D will come preloaded with the HTC Watch app.

Sprint subscribers can buy or rent titles via HTC Watch--purchases begin at $8.99, with rentals ranging from $2.99 to $3.99.
