Comments on: 30 Days of AppleTV – Day 28 http://www.applegazette.com/appletv/30-days-of-appletv-day-28/ Your Ultimate Guide to Thinking Differently Thu, 09 Feb 2012 05:10:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: MacShout http://www.applegazette.com/appletv/30-days-of-appletv-day-28/comment-page-1/#comment-9288 MacShout Thu, 26 Apr 2007 23:11:15 +0000 http://www.applegazette.com/appletv/30-days-of-appletv-day-28/#comment-9288 I would love to see a rental system added to iTunes for use with both the Apple TV and video iPods. I had been toying with getting a MovieBeam prior to the announcement of the Apple TV. I am just wondering though if this would also fall into the "Consumers want to own their music" speech Jobs gave today. If you can buy the movie for $10 - $15, will consumers really shell out $5 just to watch it once? While I know I would never go for the subscription model on music, I probably would for movies/TV shows in a heart beat, depending on pricing of course.

If you wish to purchase a movie/TV show, you will only be able to do that through the iTunes interface, which requires the full-fledged OS (OS X or Windows).

As for HD content I think thats a no brainer, however I would like the ability to view in 1080p rather than just 720p. Also a bitorrent download system would likely work amazing for the iTunes store as its popularity is at an all time high and doesn't seem to show a slowness in pace. Especially for HD content, but downloading songs within a matter of seconds wouldn't be too bad either, especially if we are talking about your 3rd point about being able to download directly to your iPod/AppleTV. The only flaw I see with that is how are you going to be able to browse the store easily on such a device.
