| Anyone see 60 Minutes last night, they had the founder and CEO of Netflix on and mentioned Apple getting into movies with "iTV." Netflix is gambling that snail mail delivery has a bit of lifespan left to it, but accessing movies on the network seems the obvious way to go here. Netflix is also working on that. I say Apple is well positioned to make this happen and the iTV or whatever it is called has to come out. They won't be the only ones. Some day I would love an iTunes like search interface for all movies - everyone else's search blows.
Any way, I can see the technology working, but what about price? 99 cents is fine for a song, but if apple charges 5, 10 or more for a movie, it just isn't worth it. Do you think they would ever offer a subscription model like Netflix? That's what would get me on board (and I have been using Netflix for many years).
Oh, if iTV is trademarked, how about "iTube" or iVision or iDiotBox? :-) |
