Amazon’s always looking for creative new ways to distribute digital media — and in light of its recently-launched Video On Demand service and the decent head of steam AmazonMP3 has managed to build, it’d probably just love to shoehorn its way onto a high-profile mobile device right about now. VentureBeat is reporting a juicy rumor of a G1 that made an appearance somewhere in San Fran’s seedy underbelly over the weekend bearing an Amazon music and video app designed to dole out media for cash, suggesting that Android’s first commercial hardware might come out of the gate ready not just to lock horns

with the iPhone’s WiFi App Store, but also to straight-up beat it by throwing in movie and TV download capability. Then again, no 3G network — particularly one with as small of a footprint as T-Mobile’s — is mighty enough to effectively do feature-length movie downloads over the aether, so it remains to be seen exactly how this would all play out. Get a good night’s sleep this evening, folks, because if everything goes according to plan, we’ll have some solid answers in just a few short hours.
