Video

Well, the biggest Apple news today wasn't that they came out with a video IPod, it was that they've begun partnering with ABC to sell a few of their television shows, one day after broadcast, through their online store. The IPod itself will have a cradle with a TV out, so if the little screen isn't what you're into you can just watch the shows on TV.

Big loser in this is probably Tivo, as their much-rumored (and presumably true) partnering with Netflix to sell videos, downloaded to your PC and then copied/streamed to your Tivo, has yet to materialize. But, at least we're finally moving to a world where this type of thing becomes more common.
