Amazon.com has reportedly announced the launch of its Internet video download service, Amazon Unbox, which offers customers television shows, movies, and other videos from over 30 studios and networks.

The company says that when customers download a movie or show, Unbox automatically gives them a second file that can be viewed on portable digital players that use Microsoft Windows Media Player.

Launching the service, Bill Carr, vice president - digital media, Amazon.com, said that Amazon Unbox offers TV and movie enthusiasts a fast, convenient way to watch thousands of their favorite videos from around-the-world. Amazon.com customers can now choose to get videos delivered to their doorstep from the Amazon DVD store, or choose Amazon Unbox and download DVD-quality movies or television shows to their PCs.

Unbox is supposedly the only video download service to offer DVD-quality picture. In addition, Unbox RemoteLoad technology allows customers to buy from one PC (such as an office computer), and download to another PC (such as a home computer). Customers can visit www.amazon.com/unbox to try the Unbox service with a free TV show.

Moreover, Amazon Unbox customers can access their videos in the Amazon Your Media Library, a personalized Web page that indexes and organizes their media purchases from Amazon.com, including books, CDs, DVDs, and videos. Your Media Library effectively provides each Unbox customer a place to keep track of his/her Unbox video purchases, and download them to additional PCs.

The Unbox service provides titles from six Hollywood studios, including 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros; TV networks, such as CBS and Fox; and cable channels like Comedy Central and E! Entertainment.

It is learnt that the TV shows would cost $1.99 per episode, while most movies would be available in the range of $7.99 to $14.99. Movies can also be rented for $3.99.

I am looking for a site that I can pay the cost of over the phone as I will not give out my credit card info on line. I am interested in you're service. Please e-mail me a phone number that I can start an account over. I have requested this simple and logical service from other sights and have had no reply. Maybe you will understand my hesitation concerning giving privelaged info. out over the computer. Please respond to my request even if you can not accomodate my wishes. Thank You, Audie M. Hale

"Learnt" is in fact a word - but I agree its usage is improper.

"It is learnt ..." is passive without agent. The does not know grammar. There is no such word as "learnt" - even worse.

A shame it WM10, not only will some Windows users not use it but it locks out the small but lucrative Mac market. What a joke!
