Makes complete sense, seeing Apple TV has been in dire need of it since it launched and most of the iPod lineup can handle movies now.
The big question for this, though, will be if their library can compete with the likes of NetFlix/Blockbuster.
I'm wondering if this will be the last announcement before the holidays, because the timing is right - something tells me we'll hear about it in October.
If movie rentals are made available, I'll be renting. I have absolutely zero interest in buying videos of low resolution that only play on iPods, Apple TVs and computers, but for renting? Absolutely! I like to watch movies on the train to/from work. Currently I use netflix, but I'd be even happier to rent a video that loads right onto my iPod (touch come the end of the month!) That would be awesome. One thing, though, there had better not be some ridiculous short limit on time within which I have to watch the movie, because I don't always get to a movie immediately, and even when I do I'm watching it in one or two 30 minute segments each day. I doubt this will replace Netflix as Netflix is bound to have a much better library, but as a suplement it will be fantastic. Surely Apple isn't going to miss such an opportunity. It's coming, even if this particular screenshot is a hoax.

If this is true, its certainly a feature I'd be interested in.
But wait. We don't even have Movie downloads in the UK yet... HMPH
Yeh.. I'd settle for just movies in the UK.. Heres hoping Microsoft beat Apple out of the gate with their movies on live for the UK

Will I be able to download them via the iTunes wifi store directly to my coming at the end of the month iPod touch?
It's called the "iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store" - which specifically indicates that movie content will not be downloadable.
