In an anticipated move, APPLE has developed a new gadget allowing consumers to stream full-length movies, photos, podcasts and TV shows to their home entertainment system.
Code-named ITV, the player will cost $299 and be available in first quarter next year.
Apple's new movie service will sell new releases from the DISNEY, PIXAR, TOUCHSTONE and MIRAMAX studios for $12.99 if pre-ordered or purchased during the first week of release.
Typically, new releases cost $14.99 and other libraried full-length films cost $9.99. Currently, there are approximately 75 films available now on iTunes and each one takes about
30 minutes to download using high-speed internet connections.
Consumers can view the movies on their IPODS or computers and eventually on TVs with the future ITV player.
According to STEVE JOBS, Apple wants its products in homes, cars and consumer's pockets as it makes its mark on all areas of the digital lifestyle.
