Apple's ITunes Sells One Million Videos in Less Than One Month
The world may soon view television in an entirely different way. In less than 20 days of introducing downloadable videos Apple Computer Inc. said its iTunes music store sold more than one million.
The Cupertino, Calif., company added video capabilities to iTunes music/video jukebox with integrated downloading service on Oct. 12, allowing customers to purchase music videos, short films and episodes of certain television shows for viewing on their iPod or computer, for $1.99 each.
The company said popular downloads include music videos from Michael Jackson, Fatboy Slim and Kanye West, as well as episodes of ABC's hit TV shows "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives."
Apple's iTunes, which runs on both Macs and PCs, is already the largest online music distribution service on the Internet with sales of over 10 million songs per month.
If Apple becomes succesful selling videos in the same way, Internet will be the primary medium of on demand television. PCs will become the center piece of entertainment in homes across the world.
