Apple planning streaming "iTunes Replay" video service?

Apple planning streaming "iTunes Replay" video service? : Ben Patterson : Yahoo! Tech: "Rumor has it that iTunes users may soon be able to stream their movie and TV video purchases from just about anywhere, à la Amazon 'Video on Demand' and Netflix 'Watch Now.' Will it happen for real? I sure hope so.
The hot tip comes from AppleInsider, which claims that Apple is 'wrapping up' the streaming service, dubbed 'iTunes Replay,' for iTunes 8.

Details on the service are sketchy; AppleInsider says that the service would support both TV and movie purchases over iTunes, but doesn't specify whether you'd be able to watch purchased videos directly over a Web browser (as you can with the Amazon and Netflix streaming services), or if the iTunes software client would be required."
