Tomorrow (August 4) sees the start of beta testing by AOL of a revamped video portal promising 45-plus new video channels, with thousands of hours of video programming from popular entertainment brands, organised and accessible via video search, browse, or an interactive programming guide.
In addition, AOL says, there will be free streaming content, as well as the ability to purchase and download full-length content that can be viewed on multiple devices and PCs - online or offline - and access to millions of music videos, news clips, movie trailers, full length TV shows.
It's not clear, though, whether, as AOL says in its publicity info, the new beta trial will be accessible to all on the net or just those in the USA.
