Downloading Movies

Amazon.com Launches Movie Download Service, TechWeb (Sep 8) -- Amazon is introducing Unbox for downloading movies and showing them on any Windows-media compatible device.

"Amazon.com on Thursday started selling movies, TV shows and other video content from Hollywood and TV networks. The retailer said it had signed a total of 30 studios and networks."

Problem -- "Having a good portable device is important because content from Amazon.com and Apple cannot be played easily on a TV, which is how most consumers prefer to watch video and movies. Neither company offers a burn-to-DVD service."
