Apple Sells 1 Million Videos in Under 20 Days

olddotter writes "Apple has sold over 1 million videos through iTunes since the release of the Video iPod service. Personally I am surprised by this success, it raises many questions. Will this encourage more people to put their video content on the iTunes store? Is there a vast market for cheaper stuff at reduced prices? Why am I willing to pay more for music than I would for video?"

Now, cable and satellite companies will be joining the fight. It's in their best interest to beat down this new method of content distribution for TV.

But the content providers and distributers are the same thing in the music industry. I don't see Radio and XM fighting with iTMS. I can't see Cable and Sat networks doing it either. The content providers (the Networks) have the say on what happens. What? Comcast and DirecTV are going to say "no, we won't show your content?" Give me a break, that's suicide.

I have an mp3 player but then again I am not a gadget whore. I have hundreds of CDs so an mp3 player was a good investment. Video ipod would be cool if you could suck video out of your tivo, but your pretty much stuck with whatever apple provides for you. And you have to pay for it.

you think thats bad?
how about those stupid nextel phones

you are trying to eat your food in a semi decent restaurant, and all of the sudden you hear that annoying fucking sound and some stupid teenage girl yelling out "WHATS UP GIRLFRIEEEEEEEEEEEND!"

when that happens i get a sudden urge to get up off my chair, walk up to her, unzip my pants, and then stick my cock so far down her throat that she'll never be able to speak again. wtf.

Yeah, you are the type of target audience. Anyone who publicly claim to like Lost has Lost his mind! That got to be the WORST show this season and utterly booooooring. I took out a season pass on my DVR for the show, but cancelled it after a few shows. Horrible!

Apple has once again shown that it can make tons of money on crap and I have to give them credit for that. There will be a cold day in hell before I would want to watch any form of video on an iPOD even stupid musci videos.
