Also, Wtf with the screen? Thats just dumb, they should have rearranged it to have the screen sideways (16:9) and had a smaller clickwheel placed off the side. It just makes more sense, since we all know that eventually movies are gonna boom, just like music online, and its gonna be like watching 50% of an already TOO SMALL screen, with huge black lines on the top and bottom.

Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb DUMB.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/
While DRM has its problems, combining it with TV shows is a masterstroke - they're shortlived enough that the potential of DRM violation doesn't scare the IP holders away. At the same time, $1.99 is low enough that people will buy the shows off iTunes, even if it means they're only seeing them once or twice.

Yes, from the purists point of view DRM is evil. Move along then - you'll *never* get commercial products unencumbered.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/
Sorry, but I just really hate the ideas behind DRM. One of these days, the world is gonna wake up, and none of our music will work anymore. What happened to ownership and fair use? What happened to our rights? The iTS is a great idea, and there's nothing wrong with using it, but I think people need to understand what they're really buying into, is all. I think a lot of people are gonna be pissed and finally start to wake up to DRM when, well, when the music ends... :)]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/
Snore.

So why does everybody get so excited over the fact that if you've got lots of money you can get lots cool stuff. Think I knew that already.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/
Well, right now, it's just the new iPod. I'm sure once they've proved that people want video, they'll release a vPod or iPod video that has a wide screen (like the PSP's). But if this somehow fails, they can just drop the video stuff and move on and pretend it all never happened.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/
Of course, the only reason they are having to introduce it at all is because of the ridiculous DRM they put on the songs in the first place.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/
For an underdeveloped market with little to no available LEGAL content, this makes perfect sense. TV shows are not only more "bite sized" (thereby avoiding a clash with the famous Jobs quote) but they are less network intensive. Can you imagine someone buying a few movies haveing to wait 3 weeks for them to finish downloading?

This is a huge foot in the door for Apple.

And btw, when and if there is a market for "movie" playing ipods, you can bet your ass they will release one.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/
No 16:9 ratio and sub-SD specs--not to mention, no DTV tuner? Typical Apple: status symbols for suckers, $1.99 at a time. No thanks!

Then there are those idiots with their PSP's and their DVR's saying how much better they are than an mp3 player. Thank you, Captain Obvious. The point is, if you MISS an episode, and you didn't Tivo it, you can go buy it the next day LEGALLY and watch it, instead of waiting 18 months for season 2 to come out on DVD. You can pay your $12/month tivo bill and get nothing other than a glorified TV Guide, or you can pay $1.99 per episode. Now let's just hope more networks hop on board.

Also, I'm an American living in the UK. I am a huge american football fan and sattelite tv is not an option at the moment. I am subscribed to so many different streaming video sites now to catch pixelated small replays of football games it makes my head spin. It would be REALLY nice to just jump online, download that Notre Dame/USC game and watch it. I'd pay $5 or more, considering we pay that for DVD rentals that we have to give back.

Why is it every time Apple pioneers something that people claim to not need or want, it goes on to become a standard? Mouse, Cd-Rom, more than 16 colors, sound, more than 1meg of ram, more than 1 gig or hard drive space, eliminating the floppy drive and serial port, adding SCSI, adding USB, firewire for digital audio and video, the new HD video compression...All these things were guffawed by pc geeks yet became industry standards.

If you ask me, this is by far the best ipod yet - the video quality looks fine when i use the TV out cable to show it on my TV, and while i cant get the TV shows (only available in america) the music vids look great.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-one-more-thing/
The point is, none of this is being forced down our throats. While video playback on a color screened iPod is kinda cool, it's not something I'll be getting soon. My 40GB iPod b/w is not even a year old yet. But it still plays my MP3's just fine.

Ahhh, gotta love the freedom of choice.
