Clearly the video service isn't the most amazing product they have but releasing it early on gives them some early-mover advantage in the market. If it takes them three and a half years to get Google News out of beta isn't it a little unreasonable to expect even more of Google Video? iTunes wasn't exactly built overnight either.

It does make you wonder if they even did a focus group or if they skipped that entirely?
