iTunes update plays Video!

For those of you who love watching video blogs, trailers, and music videos on your computer, (like most gabe.nl fans do), go download the latest version of iTunes. The new iTunes 4.8 allows people to watch videos right in iTunes. These can either be placed in by:
  • downloading music from the music store with videos (check out the new Gorillaz single with 4 bonus videos for just $0.99)
  • dragging and dropping your own files into iTunes
For more info read this article. This is so cool. Just imagine what Apple has up it's sleeve now. Everyone is speculating movie downloads from the music store. Heck yeah! I'll download a movie for $2 and watch it on a cinema display!
Whether or not Apple will be coming out with the rumored iPod Video, all I have to say is this:
  • iTunes now supports video
  • MPEG support is already in iPod photo source code but is deactivated at the moment (much like the mic and video icons were disabled form the first iChat before iChat AV)
  • Steve Jobs has said, "It doesn't make sense to make a video iPod." Right Steve. Just like when you said that Apple wouldn't make a stand alone screen iMac 3 years ago.
We'll just have to wait and see. Until then someone will really rock if they make a PSP video sync with iTunes. There that one is for free.

And to help fill you up with a version of the Apple video future, download this app for the mac to extract videos like trailers and music videos from the iTunes Music Store. It's called the "ITMS Extractor".
