Is Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN)'s Unbox video download service worth a look for those wanting to get into video downloads outside of Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL)'s iTunes product offerings? Depending on which products you may already have in your home, it very well may be.
Amazon's Unbox video service has been tweaked since I originally looked at it a few months ago, and now the service offers many free TV show downloads for use with your computer or portable media player (like the new Creative Zen), as well as movie and TV show downloads for your TiVo, Inc. (NASDAQ: TIVO) box.
While Amazon's Unbox video player program download doesn't feature all the niceties of Apple's iTunes, I'm not sure it was designed to. The program download, which facilitates content transfer to your PC, is very straightforward and incredibly easy to use. While not featuring music or podcast downloads, the program focuses on video content exclusively (for now). However, that may change soon, with Amazon recently unveiling that it's now offering 2+ million non copy-protected music downloads as well. Perhaps the Unbox player will feature music content soon? That would be my educated guess.
