Apple's Showtime

Amidst scathing reviews of Amazon's Unbox, Apple's Steve Jobs delivered the long awaited news - the iTunes Music Store now features 75 leading feature films from the Walt Disney Co. studios - Disney, Pixar, and Touchstone and from Miramax.

Nipping the feature-length-content-won't-play-at-this-size-or-resolution argument, Jobs announced a new Video iPod line and increased 640x480 resolution.

Paul Boutin at Engadget has an excellent, detailed account of Job's announcement - take a look or just launch iTunes and install the upgrade to v7. Then hop on over to your local Apple Store and pick up the postage stamp size Nano or the brighter, longer battery lifed iPod.

And coming early in '07, Apple's Media PC equivalent, tentatively dubbed iTV, will try to find its place on your rack, between the receiver and the amplifier.
