NEW! iTunes 10! More elegant and simple. Ping.
One more thing....
AppleTV - Jobs: "The first thing is, the number one, two, and three thing they want is hollywood movies and TV shows whenever they want them. It's that simple."
"And they want everything in HD. The HD revolution is over, it happened, HD won." "They'd like to pay lower prices for content."
"They don't want a computer for TV. They have computers. They go to their widescreen TVs for entertainment, not for another computer."
"They don't want to manage storage. People don't want to think about it. They just want to watch movies and TV Shows. And they don't want to sync to a computer. It's too complicated."
No storage - all rentals. Streams, not syncing.
To buy TV shows, used to be $2.99. To rent HD TV shows, 99 cents.
ABC and Fox on board at launch. "We think the rest of the studios will see the light and get on board with us pretty fast."
