Samsung unveils digital video store Media Hub

Samsung on Thursday announced, a digital video store called Media Hub where users will be able to download movies and TV shows onto Samsung phones, the upcoming Galaxy Tab device and personal computers.

Renting a movie will cost $3 to $5 and buying one will cost $10 to $15. TV shows cost $2 per episode and cannot be rented.

Samsung's Media Hub files will be wrapped in copyright protection, which limits the number of devices that can store each video to five.

Videos are also confined to the small screens. While some devices, including Samsung's upcoming tablet computer, have the ability to transmit video to a TV, the Media Hub content won't display on an external screen.

Samsung's Galaxy S smart phones will gain access to Media Hub later this month. The Galaxy Tab, an Android tablet with a 7-inch touch screen, will also have the store. Software for PCs will be available in the fourth quarter of this year, Kim said.
