Apple has today added MGM and its United Artists sublabel to its wonderful iTunes store, open iTunes and browse the new movies that have been added, the trailers for Rocky and Ronin make you want to buy (or at least SEE) them right away.
Does Apple iTunes make its own trailers? or have creative control? Something about their iTunes trailers seems so much better than your average trailers that you see on Network TV or other sales outlets.
Adding MGM to iTunes Movie Library brings iTunes Movie library to 500 movies, it also brings iTunes onboard movie studios up to 2.5 out of the Big 6.
The Big 6 Movie Companies are:
Fox
Paramount
Sony
NBC
Time Warner
Buena Vista
Apple of course began its catalog with Buena Vista (Disney’s) Library, that was followed by Paramounts hefty catalog around January, and today added MGM, which is a subsidary of the massive Sony studio.
Let’s assume that Sony/MGM see unparalled sales from the iTunes store starting today, it’d be logical for Sony to put the rest of its catalog up on iTunes (which includes Columbia, Tristar, Sony animation and more) in the coming months.
If that comes true, we’ve then three of the big six movie studios on board, and Fox, NBC and Time Warner will surely have to come on board too before the 2007 Holiday Season.
Here comes an amazing year for movies on iTunes, on your iMac, on your iPod, and on your TV!
The Apple Comment by Denny Grabowski
More silently than loud removed Apple the addition Computer from his name, more or less recognised. Is Apple no computer factory anymore? What is the point to drop that name off?
To understand this step of changing you will need a look into Apple’s history of the last years and his strategy. The phenomenal iPod was the set up of the big changing. It revolutionized the digital music consumption and pushed it in the most enjoyable way to listen music everywhere and at anytime, and by the way very stylish. That means Apple added digital music as a big piece into his production line inclusive the development of the iTunes store and the music online sale. Both things are still increasing and brought another piece of technology on the market, the Apple TV. This small and good locking box was first introduced last year and is now ready to ship since a couple of weeks. Right, few people can argue, it is a needless box and makes no sense, but it shows how to integrate your Mac with your television. It just iTunes your living room brilliantly!
These few pieces are covering the main things of an enjoyable entertainment life. But there is one more thing out called iPhone, the next step to cover music, photos, movies and internet and of course phone calls altogether. The feedback of this little magic machine was magnificent. It works, looks good and will make his owner happy!
So, these few samples show the necessary step to change the name? Oh yeah, Apple is not longer just a computer company, it is more! Apple is life!
Apple has quietly introduced the eight core mac pro on its online store, over a week before the NAB special event (when many expected it to be revealed), they’ve also lowered the prices on their gorgeous Cinema Displays, seriously tempting me to grab a 20inch for $599.
