iTunes

- In February, Apple will launch with 1,000 films. But the company had to make a concession: Apple won’t get them until 30 days after the DVD release. The movies can be watched anywhere, on any device. You can watch them instantly, they download as you start watching. You have 30 days to watch the movie after you download it, but only 24 hours to watch it after you start the movie.
- Library titles will cost $2.99. New releases will cost $3.99. You can also transfer movies to an iPod from your Mac or PC right in the middle of watching them,
