Rent Movies, Buy Books on Android Market

Google has released a new version of Android Market (Android 2.2 and higher) supporting movie rentals and book purchases. In the U.S. market, consumers will be able to rent thousands of movies, starting at $1.99, right from Android Market on their phones, using the "Video" app.

Users sign into Android Market with their Google account, and can rent movies from anywhere--the web, Android phone or tablet--and start watching instantly. Users also can download movies for offline viewing.

U.S. users also can now purchase books from Android Market on their phones. Like movie rentals, books are linked to your Google account, so they’re instantly available across all of your devices – computer, phone, or tablet – without the need for wires or downloads.
