More significantly, though you can instantly stream iTunes purchases to Apple TV, the iTunes store does not support instant streaming of content to iOS devices–iPads, iPhones, and iPod Touch players–which means that you have to download the (purchased or rented) content first. For example, my TiVo DVR, which offers access to Amazon Instant Video, can’t stream Amazon Instant Prime content. Not all devices that support Amazon Instant Video also support Prime Instant Video, however. Google Play, for example, offers a free song every day (presumably to attract you to the store).Īmazon Prime members can stream thousands of movies and TV shows to a computer, a Kindle Fire, an XBox 360, or another supported device free of charge: I used the service on a Kindle Fire to watch the 1954 version of Sabrina, which costs $2.99 to rent and $9.99 to buy on Google Play and on iTunes. Nevertheless, I found considerable variation in the pricing of older movies, TV shows, and music. In the music markets, current albums go for $10.99 apiece and singles for $1.29 apiece. Prices for current releases were the same at all three services: You can rent movies in standard definition for $3.99 each or in high definition for $4.99 each, or you can purchase them for $14.99 (standard def) or $19.99 (high def). Publicly, Google says only that it has “millions” of songs and “thousands” of movies and TV shows. Google is far less specific about the size of its catalog, but it clearly trails the other two.
