They plan on “making the service available from a broad range of connected devices.” Unfortunately this is a late start for Alphaline and feels kind of like a half-hearted “me too” move. Netflix is already on literally hundreds of devices. Amazon VOD, Vudu (from Walmart), iTunes, Blockbuster and Hulu have been out, in some cases, for years. This is a crowded market and Alphaline is going to have a hard time setting itself apart so late in the game.
