That's what it says in the tech specs, but in the Apple store it says the opposite. What gives?blakemsf said:
The new front end has not been updated yet. you can see from this link what it is supposed to look like http://www.apple.com/itunes/videos/
The new iMac is definitely marketed to dorm living.
it should ship with a friggin' futon.
I am not happy with this apple event
Video iPod is lame
Media center rip-off is lame
iMac is fine, but who the hell wants it in their ***** living room?
printer cables, scanner... it's for kid's rooms.
oh well
at least now someone might use video chat.

The iPods look really good. I'm wondering about the quality of playback for the resolution.
When it comes to TV shows, at the moment its for only the states. The Rest of the World don't yet benefit. I expect Apple haven't been arsed to start any negotiations.

That's because there is not anywhere to download QT 7.0.3. 7.0.2 is the current version. Either the warning message is wrong, or the new version is shortly to be released. I'm not going to spend $2 for an episode of Lost I've already seen just to find out I need to wait for a QuickTime upgrade.
I just tried to play a preview clip of Lost. Seems like 30 seconds previews are available. No work. I think we are waiting for a QT bump.

For those without an updated iTunes view. As far as Macs go. Just download Quicktime installer from Apple.com. It will update to 7.0.3.
For those who have not upgraded to QT 7.0.3, do so before upgrading to iTunes 6. Here's why.
I had the same problem.
1. Upgraded to iTunes 6.
2. I was notified to upgrade to Quicktime 7.0.3.
3. Upgraded to QT 7.0.3 and restarted.
Still nothing... Doesn't look like the shots on Apple.com
4. Upgrade to iTunes 6 AGAIN and bam! there it was.
After all that, the store is still really bad. You can't get to everything. Links are dead, etc. EDIT: Looks like Apple is fixing it now.
Something else strange. I linked to iTMS through a blog link. The site took for ever to come up and when it did it came back as the old front page. Had to restart to get the Videos back up.
Downloading Episode 1 of Lost. Started off fast. Looked like it would take 8-10 minutes. Hit 80% in about 5 minutes. Just finished, total download time: 20 minutes. Quality is slightly better than the torrents I have seen.
5 authorized computers count for music and video. I was hoping they would be separate.
Finally, the iTMS is updated for me. I still can't find Quicktime 7.0.3 though.
And also, does anyone know if song credits will work towards buying video?

That's a G5 running at 1/3 bus speed. Same as the iMac G5 has always been, nothing to see here...
If they put something similar into the MacMini soon, I'm a buyer.
Doubtful.

ipod video (black) = $299
+$25 invisible shield = $324
- $30 edu discount = $294

my fianceé telling me off for buying another toy then being happy because she gets my old ipod instead of her shuffle, priceless.

Let's face it, this event turned out better than it could have. At least newish stuff was released, much of which will be of interest to the general consumer. It could have been much worse (did someone say, a black ROKR )
)
I downloaded the latest Lost Episode to see the quality... however it will not play for some reason....
Not too excited by this iPod and the video system. No interest in watching video on that tiny screen (much less for ABC's craptastic lineup of shows, gimme HBO or Veronica Mars please), but if it worked as a downloadable OnDemand (ala HBO) system, I'd be excited. Let me carry a high-quality version with me and watch it on the iPod screen if I'm desperate.
I'd pay $3 to download a show in high-enough quality to watch on my computer (320*240 is a postage stamp on my 1680*1050 screen). Maybe that'll come later. For now I'll stick to BitTorrenting shows that I missed.
