Richard Hudson, that was my FIRST THOUGHT. XD I looked at that date and went "That's funny, there's a Nintendo event on the 14th... but of course that's unrelated." I'm sure it is, but it's funny how the news I keep on mostly relates to Nintendo and Apple separately, and so they link to each other in my brain now with things like this. :)]]>Aug 31st 2006 7:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/Aug 31st 2006 7:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/Aug 31st 2006 7:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/Aug 31st 2006 7:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/Aug 31st 2006 8:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/Aug 31st 2006 8:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/
But when the Macs are updated.....
Expect the Merom and Conroe craze.
We will see everything updated from the Mac Mini to the MacBook Pro.
The only machine that will get a Conroe is the iMac.....]]>Aug 31st 2006 8:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/Aug 31st 2006 8:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/Aug 31st 2006 11:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/Aug 31st 2006 9:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/Aug 31st 2006 10:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/

iTunes Movies Coming This September, Walmart Left Out

New releases will cost $14.99, older movies $9.99

With the lion's share of the market in digital music downloads and a portable video player that has become so recognizable even your grandmother knows what an "iPod" is, Apple officially threw its hat into the movie arena with the announcement of movie downloads from the iTunes store in mid-September - and retail juggernaut Wal-Mart couldn't be unhappier about the news.

BusinessWeek's Robert Grover reports that Apple plans to begin offering full-length movie downloads via iTunes beginning in September. New releases will be sold for $14.99, and older films for $9.99 - an increase from Job's initial hope of a flat-rate $9.99 per film. Movies will be protected under a similar FairPlay-style agreement, where users are permitted to play the content on a limited number of devices. The ability to record to DVD will likely be provided as well.

Recently, Walt Disney Studios signed on to distribute their movies digitally with iTunes Movie Studio - not a surprise given Steve Job's shareholder status after the Pixar purchase. Fox Entertainment may join at a later date, as may Lion's Gate Entertainment, but only if other studios come along for the ride. Part of the studio's reluctance to hop on the iTunes bandwagon might be related to Wal-Mart's massive share of DVD sales, approximately 40% of a $17-billion-per-year market. Judging by history, Wal-Mart isn't afraid to play hardball with Hollywood - earlier in 2006, they threatened not to sell Disney's High School Musical after the studio released it initially as an iTunes exclusive.

In exchange for "playing nice," Wal-Mart executive David Porter is asking for a reduction of the wholesale DVD price - currently $17 - to compete with Apple's lower costs. In addition, they want marketing help when they launch their own movie download site in the future to supplement their existing music download site.

Of course iTunes isn't the final word in movie distribution either. Disney already has its own in-house distribution method set up for online purchases. GUBA has also done its fair share of getting people excited for $0.99 online movie rentals. However, being first to market is only a slight advantage when competing with the ubiquitous iTunes -- including Microsoft's Zune distribution system.]]>Aug 31st 2006 9:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/

iTunes movie downloads coming by year's end

Apple's patriarch, Steve Jobs, isn't too keen on product leaks and goes after employees who spill the beans with a vengeance. It's likely that Jobs isn't too happy over the latest leak, there's not much he can do about this one. Lions Gate Studios announced in a quarterly conference call that it is signed on with Apple to provide digital movie downloads to iTunes before the end of this year.

CEO Jon Feltheimer also went on to say that the studio has announcements planned with at least two other heavy hitters in the industry. For all we know, one of them could be Microsoft as it has been rumored that the Redmond-based companies has been trying to lure movie studios to provide content for its Zune portable media player.

It has already been reported that Steve Jobs has been pushing for movie studios to stick to a $9.99 price model for movie downloads. Some studios have been hesitant to agree to a fixed-price download model, but Jobs' $0.99 cent music downloads have proven to be a success and attempts to raise the price have met with failure due to the steadfastness of Jobs.]]>Aug 31st 2006 9:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/31/apple-planning-event-in-sf-on-september-12th/2.

I wouldn't be surprised if they announced the new "true video" ipod as well. It'd actually make sense - to coincide with the launch of the movie store.

Can't wait.
