Apple to sell music videos via iTMS, and video iPod by September?
Word on the street (Wall Street, that is) has it that Apple has approached Warner, EMI, Universal and Sony BMG to license music videos to sell via the iTunes Music Store for $1.99 each by as early as September. They're also apparently in talks with media companies about licensing TV shows to offer via the iTMS, though the complexity of securing rights there may take longer than for music videos or even feature films. The WSJ article also indicates that Apple has told some music industry execs that it has plans to announce a video iPod by September,
as well. Keep in mind that this all seems a bit fishy given Apple's customary tight lippedness on product announcements, but we're sure there's a blogger they can crack down on somewhere.
