In Canada, Google has confirmed they will offer Android apps, movie rentals, and ebook purchases to Canadians. In some other countries, Google will also be offering music. Cnet reports Google may also begin to sell movies. Online movie rentals appear to be $4.99 and will allow you to view the file during a 48 hour period via the web or also on supported Android tablets and smartphones.

For more information, check out your navbar on google.ca or you can visit Google Play.
