10 MILLION ITUNE video downloads

WEEEHOO... not to shabby. I've actually downloaded more videos this month than songs. Had to catch up on the Knight Rider Episodes.

Does anyone know when/ if this kind of service will be available in the UK? All we have on offer now video wise through itunes is Pixar cartoons and music videos.

Does anyone know if the resolution will be increased in the near future?

 

[Shookster]

Probably not any time soon.

This will probably drive me to "upgrade" from my 30GB 2g iPod to one o' them thar "iPod with video" thingamahjiggers.

A resolution increase of the videos would probably take place when Apple releases a "real" iPod Video with a higher res screen. It depends on how successful the videos in iTunes are and how successful the video-enabled iPod 5G are.
320*240 certainly is good enough for the iPod's small screen, but I actually still expect a widescreen iPod video down the lane. Steve Jobs once said that they had tons of ideas for iPod features, but once they added one, they can't really remove it in the next version. So I guess video playback will be better in the next revision. And video resolution is certainly one point that has to be addressed in the future.
