That's not that much $$$... videos are $2 each...so $2 million - royalties = ?

Not that much. But they are selling a lot of the new video Ipods apparently.

Hasn't the whole idea behind the iTunes/iPod/iWhatever thing been the hardware sales in the first place though?

I think it says that people watch a LOT of TV. Nothing like staring at a tv screen for a few hours to wind down from a long day of.... staring at a computer screen for a few hours.

At the risk of sounding like a cynic:

Isn't the new video iPod going to be all about porn?

If so, it's going to be a MUCH bigger seller than the audio iPod. Invest in Apple stock immediately.

In all seriousness, I think the video format used is as proprietary as the audio format on iPods, and would have to be licensed. Anyone know for sure?
