[Archived in Apple, Entry, iPod, iTunes]

[SON-OF-A-PITCH] In addition, TS' senior editor Ryan Katz reports that "multiple sources have stressed that Apple will not launch the video iPod without a movie agreement in place and that a movie store will not open without the video iPod."

[Inside the Mind of a Nerd] Apple Switching to Windows?: The idea is that they would end up in a deadlock and neither format would win, and his arguments are better than Dvorak's for an Apple switch. I half wouldn't be surprised if this was true because it really would mean a lot of good things for Microsoft, though I feel the end result is a bit unlikely.

[Robert Paterson's Weblog] Apple and the Future - a contrarian view - the... : The thing I think is missing from the newsweek piece, possibly it's to trite to say, but Apple has created dial-tone out of something that everyone else has made confusingly shite. If you plug into the "iTone", your players work, your video streams, it's all integrated, and the controls/UI are simple enough for a layperson to grasp.

[Things That ”¦ Make You Go Hmm] I’m buying Apple instead of Microsoft stock: They can’t hang their hats on the likes of Halo forever and MSN Spaces, although seemingly a success with a crowd of non early-adopters, is going to have to do much more than push a bunch of tiny Volvo ads to make any serious money and spur on an increased infusion of consumer spending.

[YDACS Research Network www.YDACS.com :: Main Page] Will the PSP force Apple: "I've had a chance to play with the PSP a few times over the last few months, but I got a more extensive tryout a couple of weeks ago with EA's launch titles, which include NBA Street Showdown, FIFA 2005, Tiger Woods 2005, MVP Baseball, NFL Street 2 Unleashed, and Need For Speed Rivals. The presentation and graphics aren't quite up to PlayStation 2 levels, but they're darn close, and if you're a fan of any of these titles--and other PS2 games coming to the platform (24 titles will be available at launch)--having them in a portable format is about as killer as it gets.

[Theappleblog.com] NBC Gets on Board at The Apple Blog: This is an interesting development but I hope that for the average consumer Apple can integrate things easily and affordably into a home entertainment system in some other way than building a system using a rather pricey G5. With a totally integrated system, they would own home entertainment for a while with iTunes for music, movies and pay-per episode television while building something better than a TIVO.
