Amazon dro music store pla , will launch movie service

Amazon.com has held a place in my heart for a long time. They were the first e-retailer (do people even use that term anymore?) that I used back when they sold books (and nothing else). We all know that Amazon excels at selling stuff online so it seems like a no brainer that they would, sooner or later, compete with the iTunes Music Store.

Well, it looks like Amazon is giving A le the music ace and i tead focusing on video. That's right, Amazon has reportedly axed their idea of launching a music store and will now focus on selling video online via Amazon DV (that's 'Digital Video' to you). You will need to download a client in order to purchase or rent movies from Amazon (here's hoping there is a Mac client) and pricing is not yet known. I su ose we'll have to wait until mid-August to see if this dog will hunt.

Now, I wonder what Steve will be a ouncing in terms of movies in August. This ace is getting interesting, folks.
