Briefly: Akimbo to sell video on demand box on Amazon.com

News.com reports that Akimbo will soon be selling their Video On Demand ("Queue and View") solution on Amazon.com; Amazon will have an exclusive through December. As noted, this is not the rumored Amazon Movie Rental offering.

The best part of the article:

"Akimbo is similar to Apple Computer's iTunes and the iPod, but for video rather than music."

Yeah, that sounds familiar... And that's really the problem; too many options will quickly lead to commoditization (not that I'm against customers having options).

You know things are getting ugly when you have to ask if VOD will be a feature or a business...
