Well Apple has no leverage or else there would already be movies on
iTunes.

Of course, there are millions of iPod videos out there capable of
storing movie files hundreds or even a couple of gigs in file size. So
it could make those Blu-Ray movie discs more marketable.

If iPods continue to sell in big numbers, there would be a bigger market
for iPod-optimized movies than Blu-Ray 1080p movies, at least for a
couple of years.

PS3 is expected to be the biggest-selling HDTV movie player. Sony
expects to sell 6 million PS3s by the end of March 2007. There's a good
chance Apple has sold that many video iPods already.
