Amazon to offer Movies as downloads within weeks
Amazon.com has just announced they they will be getting into the streaming video game. If you asked most folks what the future experience of watching videos at home would be like most would have said that it would probably stream from the Internet. But the Internet on its own of course can’t do this, it needs a player with very deep pockets to ramp up the technology. Amazon seems like the perfect company to do this. They’ve been ion the leading edge of technology for a while know with a recent attempt to capture the eReader market. While it may take a while for eBooks to really catch on, video seems ready for a huge leap right from the start.
Jeff Bezos, the big cheese at Amazon says that the service will be available within a few weeks. Amazon also has a deal with Tivo to help in getting these movies onto more TVs. I will certainly sign up quickly. Our local Internet provider has been offering videos via our cable stream but their selection is not up to par. Look for Amazon to make big waves with this service. The gas saving alone may be enough of a reason for many people to test Amazon’s movie download service. I for one can’t wait to try it out.
