I think it's 1 million sold downloads (works only when people register an american address and phone number when they make the first credit card purchase), 10 million free downloads (works worldwide) and 50 million streams (works wordwide, is now easy to embedd in own website).

Soon I expect Google will add the credit card security needed to accept worldwide credit card payments (worldwide credit cards work, it's just that only a valid american adress and phone number needs to be entered..) As a swiss guy in China I use a free voicemail phone number by k7.net and find any american adress on Google. As soon as I can register with my real address and phone number I will log-in to purchases.google.com and change it. Probably google is waiting for the 3-D Secure system to launch in February, this will make worlwide authentified credit card purchase possible.

Anyways, I have bought 13 videos yet for over 50$, I think it's awesome! The resolution is better than itunes (allthough I have not tried itunes, I hate mac and ipod).. I think Google is unique to enable independant content providers sell and distribute their videos, and to distribute the videos in high quality (allthough 480 wide pixels resolution seems to be on all the .gvi videos).

I'm interested by your book, I haven't read it yet.. It's been a long time since I read a real book, I just read stuff on the internet.. Can I buy your book as an ebook for my upcomming e-ink reader?
