iTunes Dominated 2010 Online Movie Consumer Spending

This is somewhat surprising if only because I think I underestimated just how many iPhone users are using their devices to stream movies.

I agree with the post, that Amazon VOD is a threat.

IHS Screen Digest reported that iTunes held off challenges from Microsoft’s Zune Video (via Kinect 3D motion-control launch), Sony PlayStation Store, Amazon VOD and Walmart’s Vudu as the EST/iVOD market increased more than 60% from 2009.
