The original Google Videos is going to be mighty huffy about this. Not only has it endured repeated
attempts on its life following Big G's acquisition of YouTube, but now its very identity has been humiliatingly copied and pasted onto an entirely different service. The
new Google Videos is a
movie rental app that will give Android users in the US mobile access to the
3,000+ premium titles that are already available to rent on a desktop. So far, no one has been able to break out the popcorn except a few
lucky Xoom owners, but last night the app mysteriously became available to everyone else in Android Market, too. Unfortunately, those quick triggers who managed to install the app before it disappeared were rewarded with a riveting succession of server errors, but at least it gives us hope that the real-deal will be with the masses in short order. Google Videos is dead, long live Google Videos.
