Now you can watch the latest movies on YouTube. I was wondering why it's taken so long for Google to do this ... maybe they were too tight with their money. "Google has struck a deal with Hollywood film studios, but no other details are being released at this time. YouTube has announced that it will be launching a movie-on-demand service as soon as this week, marking Google's first solid venture into mainstream movie sales online. The video-sharing giant is following in the footsteps of Apples' iTunes, which is one of the most popular digital media player applications. In January 2008, Apple struck a deal with film studios such as Universal, Paramount, MGM, Sony, Lionsgate, Warner Bros., Fox, Disney and New Line for its video-on-demand (VOD) initiative. Apple charged rental fees of $2.99 and up."
