Amazon’s Prime Instant Video service is finally here, and while we know how it works and that, unlike Netflix, it will play nicely with your ‘Droid, how does its content measure up? Clicker.com pulls in feeds from all the online video sites and has broken down its data into this handy chart to investigate just that. The numbers above don’t lie, Netflix has far more content at the moment, and right now, the Amazon service compares more directly to Hulu Plus than anything else. However, it is an excellent start for Amazon to grow from and the breakdown points out what numbers might miss — while Amazon’s movie selections are hurting for any high profile flicks not already on Netflix, it does bring some otherwise unavailable episodes of Mister Rogers Neighborhood, Bonanza and Dr. Who (1963) to bear — click through for all the details, while it may not be enough to cause you to switch just yet there’s definitely enough reason to keep an eye on this latest entrant to the market.

Clicker.com has announced their Android application — social media all about video, feature films, and television.  The premise is that you can friend people, check out their viewing habits, and share yours with them.  They’ve set up a huge internet portal at clicker.com, which connects in to your Facebook and/or Twitter account, and their Android app can do the same thing.  An iOS app is in the works (on behalf of Android and our commenters, FIRST!) so it sounds like this social hub should take off.  I’m no big movie buff, but you can find me on Clicker as gbhilden (six-character minimum FTL), holler at me if you decide to try.
