Google plans to announce Friday a new service that will allow consumers to buy and download videos from its Web site, and a downloadable bundle of software applications, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported Thursday, citing sources familiar with the matter.

"We aren't commenting on any new planned services," a Google (Profile, Products, Articles) spokeswoman said. "All we're saying is that we have a number of exciting announcements that we will be make on Friday at the Consumer Electronics Show."

As part of a major upgrade to Google's video-search service, consumers will be able to pay to download and view videos, such as television shows, on their computer from Google content partners such as TV companies, according to the WSJ report. Google plans to announce partnerships with some major players, including CBS and the National Basketball Association, the report said.
