Could AppleInsider have put their name ANY bigger on the image? I understand they don't want others to take credit for it, but come on. Make the watermark smaller. And lighter.]]>Mar 2nd 2006 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/Mar 2nd 2006 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/-Downloads, not subscription
-$2 or so a pop. The movie studios don't provide anything physical so there's no good reason to charge much more.
-Transferable to DVD. If I can't HAVE it, I don't want it. I'll go somewhere else.
-At least 640 p wide, 1024 preferable.
-Tons of movies from 1930 on.]]>Mar 2nd 2006 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/
In the Vongo FAQ it mentions that there is no support for the iPod because of Apple not bending to Vongo's will. They ask people to contact Apple to get them to allow for subscriptions in their DRM.

I'm sure this survey is just being used by Vongo to gauge support for a subscription service inside of iTunes, so they can take it to Apple. "But Apple, 95% of our respondants said they'd like to have a video subscription service in iTunes! Let us be that service! Pretty please?"]]>Mar 2nd 2006 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/Mar 2nd 2006 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/
My guess is once Apple clears up the matter with Burst, we will see a whole bunch of new Apple video related announcements. I also guess the lawsuit is messing with Apple's planned announcements. ]]>Mar 2nd 2006 11:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/
Then Apple can say, "Excellent, we'll get 95% of our competitions customers when we launch our movie store. Thanks!" Everyone wins!]]>Mar 2nd 2006 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/Mar 2nd 2006 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/

It's "could've"...not "could of". ]]>Mar 2nd 2006 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/Mar 2nd 2006 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/Mar 2nd 2006 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/look at the list of movies on that screenshot, its stuff like Sky High and Hidalgo.]]>Mar 2nd 2006 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/Mar 2nd 2006 1:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/2.) How Much Will Old Movies Be? $13? You can get 13 old movies on eBay or Half.com for $13.
3.) You can sign-up for NetFlix, get tons of movies sent to your home, and just convert them yourself - for free, with Videora.
4.) The studios aren't producing additional items.
5.) The only work being done is that each movie has to be converted one time. So, that could take a few hundred people a couple of days to complete (does that justify $13?)
6.) 30 Minute Show = $2 / 120 Minute Movie = $13???]]>Mar 2nd 2006 1:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/Mar 2nd 2006 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/
When I took the survey, they mentioned the possibility of being able to download new release movies not for $13, but $16.95. That's just nuts.

Yes, the survey looks ghetto and anyone could have mocked it up, but as a frequent web survey taker, they all look like that. I think they make these the final projects of "Learning HTML" classes.

So, believe it or not, this is, in fact, real.]]>Mar 2nd 2006 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/Mar 2nd 2006 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/Mar 2nd 2006 4:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/Mar 2nd 2006 4:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/]]>Mar 2nd 2006 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/Mar 2nd 2006 9:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/itunes-movie-service-in-the-offing-we-think-not/Mar 2nd 2006 10:16PM
