Amazon Instant Video is Amazon’s answer to Netflix and Hulu. The service includes approximately 30,000 free movies and TV shows for Amazon Prime Members ($79 per year), and allows you to rent newer releases or titles not available on the free service for a small fee, often $2-4 for a movie and a bit less for a single TV episode. Amazon’s Instant Video app debuted on the iPad earlier this year, and the company is bringing the service to all iOS devices as of this morning.

“Our customers tell us they want the convenience of being able to watch all of their movies and TV episodes, wherever they are. Today we’re excited to extend our ‘buy once, enjoy everywhere’ approach to iPhone and iPod touch users, giving customers the chance to enjoy more than 140,000 titles from Amazon Instant Video and more than 30,000 titles from Prime Instant Video anytime, anywhere.” - Anthony Bay, Amazon.com VP for Video

Amazon Instant Video is now available for free on the App Store for iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch.
