Yessss! Nooooo!

Apple announces today:

Yessss!

-TV shows are now encoded at 640x480 (h264), up from 320x240 Told you so. Love it since I really buy series online and when I burn them I prefer dvd quality...(I think I will try to download everything I bought once again for better quality...)
-Movies!
From today onwards: films from Walt Disney, Pixar, Touchstone, Miramax. 75 films online now, more every week and month, most titles will be 9.99. Near DVD quality. Same encoding as TV shows at 640x480. If you have a 5mb/s broadband connection, it will take approximately 30 minutes to download a movie. Dolby surround audio in videos
(Hehe we have 15mBps here...)
U.S. now, International in 2007. (Yeah sure.. I know where to download my stuff today.)
That's 8 euro for a movie. Still a lot.
Video Palace offers similar prices, and one can rent a dvd there for quite a while.

Nooooo!

-New iPods.. Brighter video screens? That's it??? C'mon. They must be joking...

Yeeeeesssssss!

-You can take content to computer or iPod, but now... TV
1/2 size of Mac Mini, built-in power supply, USB, Ethernet, 802.11 "wireless component video", optical audio and HDMI ports, plus old RCA stereo audio ports. Works with Apple Remote.

I know what to save for :)

Nope no mobile. Dream on...
