Google launches Video Store



Google Press Center: Press Release

This just might give Apple a run for the money. There is also a for-pay download service coming from DivX, and Yahoo has pre-announced Go TV, which promises to allow downloaded internet video to be played on TV sets.

It must be CES time!

Steve Jobs will have his say next week at MacWorld Expo. In the meantime, Wired magazine has produced an in depth article about Google's program. I'm struck that Charlie Rose now sells DVDs of his show at $35 per show. With the new Google program, he will charge $4 for a stream of the show within 24 hrs of its airtime, and then $1 per show as a download thereafter.
