Little did Alan Taylor , an ex- employee of Amazon .com know that Friday would be the day that he would stumble upon some screenshots of what could possibly be an Amazon.com video store in the making. Alan claimed that he discovered the screenshots quiet accidentally while poking around an area of Amazon.com used by developers.

According to TechWeb.com, the pictures speak of a service called Unbox Video that offers first time users a free TV show or $1.99 off on the first movie they download. It comes with complete details on how to download the player and buy movies and video that can be played on a PC, TV or portable media player. Amazon.com stated that they preferred not to reveal details about future plans that might still be in the pipeline.

One of the screenshots displayed a list of available movies, including "The Road Warrior," "X-Men," and "The Matrix." Taylor also posted what could be the screenshot of the Amazon.com player, which appears to include features for organizing videos. The screenshots indicate the would-be service would at least support the Creative Zen Vision portable player.

Taylor, a Boston based Web developer said he knew nothing about an Amazon.com video store, and couldn't say for sure whether the screenshots indicate something actually under development. Or for all you know it might even be an experiment and Amazon.com might never end up launching this product.
