According to CNET, SONY prepares a video store based on iTunes business model.

We want to set business models, pricing models, distribution models like (Apple Computer CEO Steve) Jobs did for music, but for the film industry

I wished Apple had done something similar. We'll see how Sony's store performs.

There is still some time for Apple to be number 1.

With iPod cinema, later this year ? Same size as the regular iPod photo, with twice the screen in wide format... ? ? ?

Looks like Sony ain't the only ones. MS has jumped on the bandwagon too. http://www.searchenginejournal.com/index.php?p=1504

If Sony is doing this thing for movies, I think they've already messed up. There's a lot of video content that I would love to download (and watch on a PVP), but not movies. If I want a movie, I'll buy/rent it on DVD.

Why would anyone in all seriousness want to watch a feature film on a 2-4inch screen? I don't get it. Besides, wouldn't it eat up memory?
