Target Intends To Replace iTunes. Good Luck With That.

By way of TechCrunch, we learn that Target is posed to launch an UltraViolet-compatible online video store. Presumably “Target Ticket” is a collaboration with someone skilled in the space or even a branded whiteproduct and, beyond the web screenshots, the Android and iOS apps are sure to follow. As to why, well let’s just say it’s part of a broader and questionable virtual land grab (right, Toys R Us?)… and ZNF readers will continue to have the vast majority of our Internet video-on-demand needs met by Amazon and Apple, maybe even Walmart’s Vudu. Not to mention this incoming a la carte service poses no threat to the all-you-can-eat Netflix.
