Google TV unveiled (Thursday, May 20, 2010) Google today announced Google TV, a television platform based on its Android operating system and Chrome web browser. The platform allows users to access services such as Hulu, Amazon on Demand and Netflix, and integrates features such as DVR recording, bookmarks, and a picture-in-picture mode. We recommend the coverage at NewTeeVee for more information. TV networks preparing content for iPad (Saturday, May 8, 2010) Apple's recent release of the iPad is prompting TV networks and other media companies to develop solutions allowing their content to be watched on the new device. Netflix has an app which allows its streaming content to be viewed on the iPad, as does ABC. CBS, which currently has a very limited amount of content available, has announced that it will make all of the content available on CBS.com viewable on the iPad through special HTML5 pages. (The iPad does not support Adobe's Flash video format, which the regular CBS website uses to display video.) Hulu profitable; may start charging for content (Thursday, April 22, 2010) The popular TV and movie portal Hulu, which we track on Movie Monitor, is now profitable according to its CEO, Jason Kilar. There are rumors circulating in the online press that it may introduce subscription plans or otherwise start charging for some of its content. The service is currently ad-supported. For analysis, we recommend an article at paidContent.org. Netflix strengthens indie film on-demand offerings (Tuesday, February 2, 2010) According to a February 1 Netflix press release, 300 new indie movie titles are available for instant watching for Netflix subscribers as a result of deals with independent film distributors. These new titles will be added to the Movie Monitor database as soon as they become available; see our Netflix Instant Watch page to browse all titles available on-demand through Netflix. Amazon.com offers free downloads for disc purchasers (Thursday, December 10, 2009) A new promotion at Amazon.com allows customers who buy a DVD or Blu-ray disc to instantly watch the same title online for free. This appears to be an attempt to increase lagging DVD sales; although the promotion is currently limited to only a few hundred titles, it could become an important new retail strategy.
