Apple releases Video Ipod and New Imac G5
14/10/05 13:40


Apple has released the Video Ipod with 2.5" LCD display. They also have a distribution deal in place with Disney for new TV shows to be sold in Itunes Video store. The new Imac G5 feature a remote control that works with Apple's new program Front Row. Front Row is only available on new Imac G5 systems for now but will see if upcoming power macs get this added software bonus too. I really like the new Video Ipod but believe it will not be the true video money maker. I was analyzing how music purchased thru Itunes music store would cost $15,000 to fill new Ipod but since it only holds 75 hours of video clips and with TV shows costing about $2.00 hour (Music video's would cost more $2.00 for 5 minutes) thus total cost to fill with video at $150.00 thus a Bid difference in revenue generated from distribution thru Itunes stores. What do you think? Won't it only be able to make money when small drive technology allows thousands of hours of video on a portable device. This is what I think is truly holding portable video back!
Apple Event tomorrow morning

In the morning time Apple will hold a special event to unveil some new products. Will this make much difference? I hope they release both a video capable Ipod and more importantly some dual core PowerPC systems. We'll see in the morning. What do you think will be released?
