U.K Supermarket Tesco Moves into Video on Demand With BlinkBox Deal
The seven-inch Android-operated Hudl will go on sale Sept. 30 and cost about $191 (£119), less than the iPad, but around the same as the Kindle and Google Android devices.
The Tesco tablet, which comes in four colors, has a button that allows users to watch movies and TV shows via the supermarket company's Blinkbox online video service, listen to music, shop or check their Tesco club card points. Club card holders can also watch free video content via the company's Clubcard TV service.
"Hudl is a colorful, accessible tablet for the whole family to enjoy," said Tesco CEO Philip Clarke. "The first stage in our tablet offering, it's convenient, integrated and easy to use with no compromise on spec. Customers are quite rightly very discerning about the technology they buy, so we knew we had to be competitive on all fronts."
Addressing the tablet competition in Britain, he said: "Being online is an increasingly essential part of family life, and whilst tablets are on the rise, usage is still quite limited. We feel the time is right for Tesco to help widen tablet ownership and bring the fun, convenience and excitement of tablets to even more customers across the U.K."
According to U.K. media regulator Ofcom, three quarters of British households do not have a tablet yet. "Tesco's research found that many feel that the technology is too expensive or intimidating," the supermarket firm said.
The Wifi-enabled Hudl has 16GB of memory, which can be extended to 48GB. It includes apps for the likes of YouTube and Google Chrome.

Amazon Instant Video Streaming Service Now Offers More Than 100,000 Movies...

Recent content deals with CBS Corp. and NBCUniversal have also expanded the lineup of Amazon Prime as the e-tailer competes more aggressively with Netflix in the streaming video space.

NEW YORK - Amazon.com said Thursday that its iTunes-type Amazon Instant Video service now offers more than 100,000 movies and TV shows, while its subscription-based Amazon Prime service has more than 9,000 movies and TV shows available for streaming.

The Amazon Prime content milestone was reached based on previously announced content deals, such as ones with CBS Corp. and NBCUniversal.

Meanwhile, Amazon Instant Video has content from all major studios and networks and regularly adds more titles as they become available. Earlier this summer, Amazon had reported that Amazon Instant Video had 90,000 content items available.

Amazon, led by CEO Jeff Bezos, has been expanding its streaming video programming lineup as it has competed more aggressively with video streaming powerhouse Netflix.

Amazon Instant Video offers new releases and classics for purchase or rental on an a la carte basis starting at $3.99, while Amazon Prime is a $79 a year shipping service that has been packaged with video offers.

"We are focused on offering our customers the very best selection and are always working to expand our already extensive list of great video content," said Steve Oliver, director of video at Amazon. "The 100,000 titles on Amazon Instant Video range from new hit blockbusters to old favorites, with more than 15,000 of those titles available in HD, and popular TV shows available the day after they first air."
